Cabinteely

Cabinteely (Cabán tSíle in Irish, meaning "Sheila's Cabin") is an Irish village in the suburbs of Dublin in the Republic of Ireland, in the administrative county of Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown and the Dáil constituency of Dún Laoghaire. Once a rural village in County Dublin, it has in the past 20-30 years become a suburb of the greater Dublin area and is becoming an increasingly popular residential area with several new apartment and housing developments (eg. The Low Carbon development "Watermint"). According to the most recent census (to 2006) the population of the Cabinteely area is 12,698.

The Luas Line B1 which is currently under construction is due to pass close by Cabinteely, with stops at Brennanstown and Laughanstown.
