Situation


On the Northside of the city, in the former green belt between the suburbs of Balgriffin, Portmarnock and Malahide, Kinsealy is situated around the Malahide Road, and is served by Dublin Bus. It has a Roman Catholic church, by a secondary road to Portmarnock.

Employment


In addition to the few businesses in Balgriffin, Kinsealy has a garden centre and greengrocer, and a research station of Teagasc.

Points of note


The area was home for many years to Charles Haughey, a leading but controversial Irish politician who more than once held office as Taoiseach or Prime Minister. He lived at Abbeville, a "big house", set in grounds opposite the church, and whose lands are now planned for development.
