Loughlinstown (Irish: Baile Uí Lachnáin, meaning "The Town of O'Loughnin") is a south Dublin suburb. Located in the County of Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown it lies on the N11 National Primary Route. Originally Loughlinstown was a village on the road from Dublin to Bray in County Wicklow. During the 1960s, one of the earliest stretches of dual carriageway in Ireland was built through the area, leaving the village scattered along the western side of the new road. Loughlinstown is the location of a major General Hospital, which serves both south Dublin and north Wicklow. The European Foundation for the Improvement of Living and Working Conditions, an EU body, is located in Loughlinstown House.
