Carrickmines (Irish: Carraig Mhaighin, meaning "Plateau of rock") is suburb of Dublin in Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown. Until recently it was primarily known as a location for expensive houses, it being situated just south of Foxrock. The area is now divided north/south by the M50 motorway and its associated Junction 15. To the north are the older residential areas near Foxrock and to the south, along the Glenamuck Road are new retail parks, office buildings, apartments and housing schemes. LUAS Green Line extension will serve the area and is due to open in October 2010.
