Kimmage

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kimmage (Irish: Camaigh) (Dublin 12 & Dublin 6W) is a small suburb of Dublin near to Rathfarnham, Greenhills, Templeogue, Terenure and Crumlin.

The most famous landmark of the area is the KCR or Kimmage Cross Roads which has been a petrol station and a shop for in excess of twenty years.

The River Poddle flows through it.

It was famous as one of the two cheapest properties on the Irish version of Monopoly, but has now been removed in favour of Rathfarnham in the newer edition.

There is only the main shopping area for residents, which is Lower Kimmage Road which has many shops and services to offer the community such as barbers, takeaways, garage, shops, etc.

Kimmage comes from the gaelic 'Cam uisce' which means winding river.

It was home to Trevor Garry the Republic of Ireland youth goalkeeper for 24 years.
