Kingswood, Dublin


Kingswood is a suburb in South Dublin, Ireland. It is close to the county town of Tallaght.

The area is borderd by the M50 motorway to the NE, Katherine Tynan Road to the SE, the Belgard Road to the SW and the N7 to the NW. Traditionally considered to be part of the hinterland of Clondalkin Village yet lying inside of the historical Parish of Tallaght, the area is now divided by the Ballymount Road, with roughly two thirds in Tallaght (Dublin 24), and the remainder, west of the road, in Clondalkin (Dublin 22), and therefore served by different Garda Stations. It has a population of approximately 1,600.

Kingswood has a launderette, an betting shop, a fast-food takeaway and Gios Chipper, a pub, a chemist, a Centra convenience store and a community centre.

Kingswood Community College will be one of the most modern schools in the country and will have a community-based ethos of inclusion together with the highest educational standards. As well as the full Leaving Certificate programme, the school will also provide for the new Junior Cycle Framework.
