Ballybrack
Ballybrack (Irish: An Baile Breac, meaning 'the speckled townland') is a residential suburb of Dublin, in the south of County Dublin. It is in Dún Laoghaire–Rathdown, Ireland. It is southwest of Killiney, northeast of Loughlinstown, east of Cabinteely and north of Shankill.
The population of the eponymous townland is 3,901 according to the 2016 census with the actual population of the modern area closer to 6,000 (incorporating Ashlawn Park, Holly / Cedar Court area and Cromlech Fields).[citation needed]
Ballybrack has a post office, a newsagent, a petrol station, two public houses, three barber shops, a café, a pizza restaurant, dry cleaners, two pharmacies, and a small shopping centre.[citation needed] There are also two Roman Catholic churches in the area.[citation needed]
The area is well served by a number of different transport links, with Dublin Bus and Go-Ahead Ireland running the 7, 7A, 7B, 45, 45A, 45B and 111 services from the city centre and Dun Laoghaire town centre which serves the locality. Killiney DART station (originally Killiney and Ballybrack station, until 1921) is a 12-minute walk from the village and the Luas Green line stops at Cherrywood and Brides Glen are a 20-minute walk and both serve the city and a number of southside suburbs.
The N11 primary route and the M50 orbital motorway both have exits close to Ballybrack.
Local schools are St. John's and Scoil Cholmcille, while the local Gaelscoil is Gaelscoil Phádraig, which continues to grow year-on-year from a modest start in 1995. The area is also served by a nearby co-educational secondary school, St Laurence College.[citation needed]
Local sports clubs include soccer club Ballybrack FC and Ballybrack/Borough Boxing Club, while the area is also served by nearby GAA Clubs Foxrock–Cabinteely GAA, Cabinteely GAA and Seapoint RFC Rugby Club.[citation needed]
In 2005, Foxrock Girls and the ladies' section of Cabinteely GAA club merged to form a new club offering a broader programme of football for all age groups in their catchment area. They are based at Kilbogget Park between Cabinteely and Ballybrack. The club has so far won at underage level the All-Ireland Division 1 Féile for U14s in 2005, All-Ireland U14 7s in the same year and numerous Dublin Leagues and Championships. The adult team won the 2007 VHI All-Ireland Junior Championship, 2007 All-Ireland Junior 7s Shield and in 2008 were Dublin Intermediate League and Championship winners.
