Cabra (Irish: An Chabrach, meaning "the poor land") is a suburb on the northside of Dublin city in Ireland. It is approximately 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) northwest of the city centre, in the administrative area of Dublin City Council. It was commonly known as Cabragh until the early 20th century. Cabra is also a parish in the Fingal South West deanery of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Dublin.
Dublin Bus' two main routes for the area are the 120 Ashtown via Cabra West/East to Parnell Street/Ballsbridge and 122 Ashington, Cabra West/East, City to Drimnagh. Routes 38/a/b and Nitelink 39N serve Cabra Road, while 37, 39, 39a,70, 70N serve Navan Road. Route 46A travels the North Circular Road, part of Cabra's southern boundary.
Suburban rail stops in the rundown Broombridge railway station, en route to Maynooth. As part of the government's Transport 21 strategy, there are plans to extend the Luas, Dublin's light rail system. By linking the present "red line" to Dublin Airport, there would be stops at local areas like Liffey Junction and the new Dublin Institute of Technology campus at Grangegorman.
