Perrystown (Irish: Baile Pheire) is a small south Dublin suburb located between Terenure, Greenhills, Templeogue and Crumlin.
It is not a widely known area,[citation needed] and is often referred to as a housing estate or just an area of Crumlin.[citation needed] It is serviced by the 150, 15a and 54a bus routes.
The local community centre plays host to the PME Variety Group, Robert Emmet's GAA Club, and Manortown United Football Club. The town has two public houses and a restaurant. The local primary school is St. Damian's, and the Church of the Holy Spirit Kimmage Manor is the local Roman Catholic parish church.[citation needed]
Borders of Perrystown
According to Francis Elrington Ball, the author of History of County Dublin (1902), the extensive civil parish of Crumlin in the nineteenth century contained the townland of Perrystown. Early ordnance survey maps show the borders of Perrystown from the Dublin city county border line on the Whitehall Road (including Kimmage Manor and the river Poddle) to the start of Willington roundabout, taking in both sides of Templeville Road up to Grovenor Court. Perrystown also includes the Whitehall Road West up to Hillsbrook Ave, taking in all of Muckross and Rockfield Avenue down to the county border line with Dublin city.
Notable people
- Niall Quinn, former Ireland soccer international[1]
- Rob Smith, musician and songwriter[citation needed]
- Sonny Knowles, showband singer[2]
