Location
The area is bordered by the M50 motorway to the NE; the Belgard Road to the SW; N7 to the NW; Katherine Tynan Road to the SE. The latter is named for writer Katherine Tynan (1859–1931), who lived in the area.[2] Historically a part of the hinterland of Clondalkin village yet lying inside the Parish of Tallaght,[3] the Kingswood area is now divided by the Ballymount Road, with roughly two thirds in Dublin 24, and the remainder, west of the road, in Dublin 22, and therefore served by different garda stations.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
