The neighbourhood report South Dublin
Rathcoole
A village between Saggart and Newcastle on the old Naas Road, Rathcoole has retained a degree of its original settlement character despite the residential growth that has surrounded it. The village centre, with its pub, shops, and church, provides a focal point that newer suburbs often lack. The proximity to the N7 motorway keeps Dublin accessible, while the rural hinterland to the south and west offers a sense of space that the city's inner suburbs cannot match.
