Limekiln Road-Dublin 12 or Dublin 24?

grumbleweed

Hey all. We used to live in Limekiln Road and were of the opinion that it was Dublin 12. I think the areas have redesignated in recent years. The local Repac collection centre, on the same road is under South Dublin Co Council and it says address is Greenhills, Dublin 24.
It appears that part of Limekiln Road then is now Dublin 24. Does anyone know where the border is? Or where we might be able to find out?
We are applying for social housing and our previous address is proof of a Local Connection.
We are trying to figure out if we should apply to South Dublin Co Council or Dublin City Co Council.
Have looked at maps etc and just cant seem to find out.
Anyone any idea?
If in wrong section, could moderator please move to appropriate place?
Thanks in advance

The border there would be the M50. I would say none of Limekiln is in D24.

According to the excellent OpenStreet Map, all of Limekiln Rd is in Dublin 12. See here

Thanks. I think it is SDCC simply because they run Tymon Park in total. It does appear to be Dublin 12 as we had thought. However, some places I am reading state that Greenhills falls under South Dublin not Dublin City. So still not sure

From Wiki-not reliable I know!
Administration

In administrative terms, Greenhills is in the extreme north-west of South Dublin County Council (SDCC) area, and in local government elections is part of the Tallaght Central local electoral area. As of 2009, the local elected representatives on SDCC are Eamonn Walsh (Fianna Fáil), Mick Duff (Labour), Colm Brophy (Fine Gael), Pamala Kearns (Labour), Sean Crowe (Sinn Féin) and Dermot Looney (Labour). Cllr. Looney is the only local representative resident in Greenhills.
Greenhills is part of the Dublin South–West Dáil constituency. The elected TDs for the area are Brian Hayes (Fine Gael), Sean Crowe (Sinn Féin), Eamonn Maloney (Labour), and Pat Rabbitte (Labour).

Greenhills College/VEC is under County of Dublin VEC. It descibes as South West County Dubiln. Still dont know though

A definitive map of the county boundary appears here and says that its in Tallaght Central electoral district. Not sure if that precludes it from being in Dublin 12.

Have been desperately looking for a map like that! Thanks
Think that conclusively shows me that Greenhills is under Tallaght Central. Does that mean it is South Dublin Co Council then?

Council are probably best positioned to answer that one!

Hey GBX, no I clarified I got the D24 thing wrong, it is Dublin 12. If you live on Limekiln Road, you are the very person to know then. What County Council are you under? South Dublin Co Co or Dublin City??

byrner88

I've always seen it as dublin 24 considering it's proximity to tymon park.

grumbleweed

Thanks for all info. Its definitely D12 and Limekiln/Greenhills appears to be Tallaght Central and Templeogue-Limekiln and under South Dub Co Co. Thanks so much!

Collins map of Dublin concurs it is Dublin 12 and SDCC.

Granny lived there for over 20 years,always thought it was Dublin 12.

anncoates

Definitely Dublin 12.

As said already, I think of Dublin 24 as starting on the other side of the M50: top end of the Greenhills Road, Tymon North, Balrothery, Kinammangh etc.

My other half is from Limekiln & it's always been Dublin 12. We now live on the far side of Tymon Park & that's Dublin 24. Always thought it was the M50 that divided it.
