Raheny
Raheny (Ráth Éanna in Irish) is a quiet northern suburb of Dublin, the capital city of the Republic of Ireland. It is situated on the coast of County Dublin, about 8 km from the city centre. Nearby areas include Kilbarrack, Clontarf, Donaghmede, and Howth. Raheny has a station on the DART suburban railway syatem, a beach at Dollymount, and an extensive park at St Anne's (formerly the home of the Guinness brewing family).
At the heart of Raheny lies the old settlement (today known as "The Village") of Ráth Éanna: the ringfort of Eanna, a local chief.
Local amenities include a small shopping centre, numerous public houses, and several sports clubs, including the noted Raheny GAA club and Raheny United, a local soccer club.
The neighbourhood has a boy's secondary school, St Paul's College (attended by approximately 600 pupils) and a girl's school, Manor House.
The "Raheny News", a four page bulletin, printed on distinctive green paper, and aimed at keeping residents of Raheny informed of current happenings in the area, is produced weekly throughout most of the year by a group of local people.
