Killester (Cill Easra in Irish) a largely residential suburb of Dublin containing a small number of neighbourhood shops, and lies on the northside of the city. It is located between Clontarf, Raheny and Artane, and it falls within the postal districts of Dublin 3 or 5. St. Anne's Park lies just beyond Killester on the Raheny / Clontarf side. It falls within the Clontarf electoral district.

Killester has been noted in city and church documents going back many centuries, and was the site of a convent or monastery. The current Roman Catholic church, on the Howth Road, opposite St. David's National School, holds relics of Saint Brigid, Ireland's secondary Patron Saint.

[edit] Transport

The area is (mainly) served by the Howth road and Collins Avenue (East). It has rail station on the DART line (also on the Dublin-Belfast line but with no stopping), and buses 28,29A, 31, 32A/B and 42A from the city centre go through the area.
