Rooms to Rent in Tallaght, Dublin 24

Tallaght is a large suburb in south-west Dublin, about 13 km from the city centre near the foothills of the Dublin Mountains, and the county town of South Dublin. A monastery founded here by St Maelruain in 769 made it one of medieval Ireland's important monastic centres, but it was still a small village in the 1960s. Planned growth followed, and at the 2022 census its electoral divisions had more than 81,000 people, which made it the largest settlement on the island of Ireland without city status.

Tallaght's town centre holds the offices of South Dublin County Council, the county library, the Civic Theatre and the Rua Red arts centre, alongside The Square, which was the largest shopping centre in Ireland when it opened in 1990. TU Dublin has a campus here, Tallaght University Hospital is a teaching hospital linked with Trinity College, and Tallaght Stadium is the home of Shamrock Rovers. The Dublin Mountains Way, a long-distance walking route to Shankill, begins at Sean Walsh Park beside the stadium.

The Luas Red line ends at Tallaght, with stops including Hospital, Cookstown and Belgard giving direct trams through Red Cow and Heuston to the city centre, and orbital bus routes link Tallaght with neighbouring suburbs. Rooms range from spare rooms in family homes to apartments, and Tallaght suits students, hospital staff and anyone who wants a town with everything on hand and a direct tram into Dublin.
