Poppintree (Irish: Crann Phapáin)[1] is a townland and neighbourhood in the large outer suburb of Ballymun, Dublin, Ireland. It is principally bordered by other parts of Ballymun, and Finglas, and to a modest extent by Ballygall. The area includes Poppintree Park[2] and the Poppintree Sports and Community Complex.[3] The Republic of Ireland's only IKEA store is located here.[4]
Etymology
[edit | edit source]The name is derived from the townland in the civil parish of Santry[1] (Ballymun was established primarily on Santry lands). It borders a smaller townland of the same name to the west of the parish of Finglas.
History
[edit | edit source]Poppintree is derived from Pappan's Tree, named in honour of the 6th century abbot, Saint Pappan, who built a small chapel in Santry.[5] The area was the site of a large tree under which was held an annual commemoration service to Saint Pappan on the last day of July. The services ceased by 1845.[6]
Transportation
[edit | edit source]Buses serving the area include routes 4, 13, 88n, 140 and 155 (operated by Dublin Bus), as well as routes 220 and N6 (operated by Go-Ahead Ireland).[citation needed]
