    Kilnamanagh is fine, few friends and relatives of mine live there and never have any trouble from anyone. its a private estate (i think it was the largest private estate in europe for some time) has its own shopping centre with a dunnes etc etc. It has no pub, but the cuckoo's nest tends to be the local for most people and its just across the road from the community centre. Trust me there are a lot worse estates in Tallaght and other parts of dublin.

    Kilnamanagh is grand. I live down the road and know a few people who live there. As above, worse places around. There is also the clock tower pub which is close by.

    Hey, tell her not to worry about it. Kilnamanagh is a decent area. The rougher areas are up the other end of Tallaght so it's all good. Actually, someone mentioned The Clock Tower but it's a hole, The Cuckoos Nest is a far nicer spot.

    Its a lovely spot - can ya tell i'm bias!!!:D

    Handy to get into town with the luas or buses. Square only minutes away, good bit of stuff to do near there ie restaurants, bars, clubs.
    Schools in the area are good though sadly numbers getting smaller - so bring ur kids! :p

    Honestly its not a bad spot and after 20 odd years here, i ain't seen any trouble. hope that helps.

    i grew up in tallaght when i was a youngster and have friends who still live there. Its a grand estate. There is a primary school there, shopping centre (dunnes etc), community centre, luas on your doorstep etc. Was never a fan of the cuckoo's nest but its grand, no trouble there.

    also kilnamanagh is just the periphery of tallaght, so its not that close to the rougher areas.
