Carrickmines

Carrickmines is an outer suburb of Dublin in Dún Laoghaire–Rathdown, County Dublin, Ireland.

The area, still semi-rural, was historically on the border of English control and featured a defensive construction, Carrickmines Castle, which became the subject of national controversy during the building of a late stage of Dublin's M50 orbital motorway.
