Artane

Dublin, Ireland

Artane, sometimes spelled Artaine (Ard Aidhin in Irish), historically Tartaine is a Northside suburb of Dublin. Neighbouring districts include Coolock, Beaumont, Killester, Raheny and Clontarf; to the south is a small locality, Harmonstown, straddling the Raheny-Artane border. The district today has a dispersed character, lying either side of the Malahide Road, with focal points around the churches, main shopping centre and Artane Roundabout. There are shopping precincts on Malahide Road and opposite one of the churches (St. John Vianney), a main shopping centre, Artaine Castle (anchored by Tesco Ireland), a small industrial estate (Butterly Business Park - site of the old Stardust nightclub and also location of the HQ of Astronomy Ireland) and a leisure centre. Schools in Artane include St. David's CBS and St. David's Boys National School, mentioned above, and St. John of God National School on Kilmore Road.
