DEANSGRANGE

'Deansgrange' (''Gráinseach an Déin'' in Irish) is a suburban area of South Dublin, centered around a crossroads, between Dún Laoghaire and Foxrock. The crossroads is a commercial centre for the surrounding low density housing estates, providing a medium sized supermarket, a bank, a pub, a library, a pharmacy and an Italian takeaway food outlet. South of the crossroads is ''Clonkeen Road'' leading to Clonkeen College, west is Kill Lane, leading up to Foxrock Church and the N11. North of the crossroads are some car showrooms, a pizzeria, a cafe, a bookies, a bakery and a large but now fully allotted Deans Grange Cemetery, while east Kill Lane leads to ''Baker's Corner'' at ''Kill O'The Grange''. There is an office block and a small industrial estate containing offices of the World GSM Association off the eastern end of Kill Lane. Deansgrange is also home of the Hideaway House. Every so often punk rock gigs are held in this house bringing in sometimes, international acts such as Ghost Mice, Jon Cocker and Lemuria
The area is named after the Church of Ireland Kill O'The Grange Church, situated just east of the crossroads. A church primary school is located just south of the church building.
A river runs parallel and east of Clonkeen Road through a linear park.
