Cornelscourt (Cúirt an Choirnéil in Irish) is a small suburban area of South Dublin, situated between Cabinteely and Foxrock. It has a mostly commercial rather than residential character and is best known for being the site of Ireland's first Big-box store, Dunnes Stores. Cornelscourt consists of the houses and shops on either side of a section of the bypassed Old Bray Road between the junction with the N11 to the East. The surrounding residential housing is laid out in suburban housing estates. The area has been designated a 'District Centre' by Dun Laoghaire County Council.
