Baldonnel, pronounced (Bal-don-nel), and commonly spelt using the singular "Baldonnel" is believed to be a local name attributed to the Clann of Donail. Mainly recognised as just a townland, and industrial/agricultural area near Tallght, Lucan, Saggart and Naas, in West County Dublin, it is mainly famed for the location of the head of the Irish Air Corps (Irish Air Defence Forces) at Casement Aerodrome, Baldonnel, which has been in operation for over 90 years in the locality, first as an RAF base during the occupation, until 1921/2, when the Irish Air Corps took command of the field.
