Mask Avenue

Over nine hundred years of recorded history lie beneath Artane's suburban streets, though its modern character was shaped by the housing estates that replaced the farmland from the mid-twentieth century. The Artane Industrial School, which operated from 1871 to 1969 and produced the famous Artane Boys Band that played before GAA matches at Croke Park, left a complex legacy that the area has worked to move beyond. A settled family suburb with strong local amenities.
