Ongar, Dublin
Ongar /ˈɒŋɡər/ is a western suburb of Dublin, Ireland. Developed on a greenfield basis since 2001, it comprises the townlands of Castaheany (northerly) and "Hansfield or Phibblestown" (southerly), within the ancient Barony of Castleknock, County Dublin. It is close to Castleknock, Blanchardstown and Clonsilla. The development has a number of amenities on the main street, there are several schools in the area, and the nearby railway line at Hansfield railway station connects to the Luas Green Line and ultimately the N3 national route / M3 motorway. Employers in the nearby business parks and Greater Blanchardstown include Intel, Hewlett-Packard, IBM, Kepak and eBay.
The area was a new build, developing the lands of the stud farm called Ongar House (named for Ongar, Essex), once the residence of Hollywood star Rita Hayworth and her husband Prince Aly Khan. Another part of the area covers the farm and lands belonging to Phibblestown House (built c. 1840).
Building of the new suburban development started in 2001 on the site of the former stud farm and was ongoing as recently as 2009. The current building, "Ongar House", is a facsimile of the original house, which was destroyed in a fire on the night of 14/15 September 2002. The rebuilt house was sold in 2013. Ongar House was refurbished in 2019 and is now an apartment block.[citation needed]
Ongar and its surrounding areas were built up with a mix of housing types - apartments, duplexes and houses - and with a concentration of services on one street.
Ongar is centred on the townland of "Hansfield or Phibblestown" and is contained within the old civil parish of Clonsilla. The village of Clonee is 2 kilometres to the north, while Clonsilla is roughly 2 km to the east, and Blanchardstown Shopping Centre, and the actual village of Blanchardstown are 3−3.5 km away. Ongar is in the Dublin 15 postal district.
The Royal Canal passes to the south, and small streams run in the area.
To the north is the Littlepace interchange of the N3 national route, which just after becomes the M3 motorway. Pedestrian access is possible to the townland of Castaheany to the north where the tree-lined avenue, house and walled garden of Phibblestown House have been preserved. In this townland, a primary and secondary school are located.
Dublin Bus routes 39 and 39A serve Ongar.
