Deansgrange

Dublin, Ireland

Deansgrange (Gráinseach an Déin, formerly Cluain Chaoin, in Irish) is a suburban area of South Dublin, centered around a crossroads, between Blackrock, Dún Laoghaire and Foxrock. The crossroads is a commercial centre for the surrounding low density housing estates, providing a selection of shops and services. South of the crossroads is Clonkeen Road leading to Clonkeen College. There is also an office block and a small industrial estate off the eastern end of Kill Lane. In 2007, the corner site between the library and the crossroads was redeveloped. The new building includes a supermarket with underground parking and a Bank. Deansgrange Cemetery is one of the largest cemeteries in Dublin and is the burial place of many famous people, including Flann O'Brien, Count John McCormack, Frank O'Connor, Eamon Martin, Seán Lemass, Dermot Morgan and the Nobel Laureate Ernest Walton.
