Raheny (Ráth Eanna^[1] or Ráth Eanaigh in Irish) is a quiet northern suburb of Dublin, the capital city of Ireland. It is an old area, referenced back to 570 AD (Archdall, Mervyn) but after years of light settlement, with a main village and a coastal hamlet, grew rapidly in the 20th century, and is now a low-density Northside suburb with a village core.

Raheny and neighbouring districts

Raheny is bisected by the Howth Road (R105) and the R809 (Watermill Road, Main Street, Station Road) and is also accessed from the Malahide Road (R107), the coastal James Larkin Road (R807) and the R104 (including the Oscar Traynor Road and Kilbarrack Road). There is a railway station overlooking the village centre, serving the DART suburban railway system and the Dublin-Belfast main line, and parts of Raheny are served by other DART stations, Harmonstown and Kilbarrack, on this line. Raheny is also served by Dublin Bus (routes 29A, 31, 32, 32A, 32B, and the rare 105 and 129, and at night, 29N and 31N) and has one of Dublin's few taxi ranks.

Historical Features

At the heart of Raheny lie the remains of a large ancient ringfort (or rath) from which the area gets its name. The rath extends under the centre of the modern village, from beside the Santry River, including some marshy ground, to the Roman Catholic church, Windsor Motors, the Scout Den and the two St. Assam's Churches. Some excavations were carried out in the 1970's, giving an idea of its size (probably c. 110m across) and structure. The old church and graveyard complex behind the village plaza may reflect a remnant of the rath (as does some embankment behind the scout den). This St. Assam's Church, dating from a 1712 reconstruction of a 1609 building, is believed to be the successor to early religious settlement. The later St. Assam's Church, opposite, was built in the period when Roman Catholics regained the right to have their own churches. Santry River (formerly Skillings Glas) is a fairly small river on the north side of Dublin city, one of the forty or so watercourses monitored by Dublin City Council. ... The Roman Catholic Church, most often spoken of simply as the Catholic Church, is the largest Christian church, with over one billion members. ... St. ... St. ...

Raheny was also the site of two holy wells. The first of these, St. Ann's Well, gave its name to St. Anne's Park. The site of this well is still visible under a stone cupola by the Boating Lake in the park, but it has been dry for several decades, despite efforts by municipal authorities to restart it. The second well, dedicated to the patron saint of the area, St. Assam, lay in the field which now holds the Church of Our Lady Mother of Divine Grace. When last recorded, it was marked by a depression in the ground but was later, in the 20th century, covered over, and its waters diverted into the Santry River. St. ... Santry River (formerly Skillings Glas) is a fairly small river on the north side of Dublin city, one of the forty or so watercourses monitored by Dublin City Council. ...

In a sign of prosperity, Raheny also had a water mill near the mouth of the Santry River and two windmills, one on the Howth Road, one on Belmont hill, as well as a stone quay.

There was, at least by the 19th century, a hamlet, a "second Raheny", Raheny-on-the-Strand, at the point known as the "Whip of the Water", where the Howth Road met the sea. There was a beach road here, later washed away, then succeeded by the tram line to Howth. The current coastal road, the James Larkin Road, is a much more recent construction.

The "Celtic-style" cross on display in the village (now on the main plaza but previously placed in at least three other locations) is a memorial to a 19th century missionary from the area to India, paid for by locals in India.

Panels describing highlights of the area's historical and natural sights in English and Irish, and with maps of the central village area, stand either side of the central crossroads. In addition, in 2006 the Raheny Business Association placed blue historical plaques on a number of historical buildings.

Name

Several explanations exist for the origin of the name Raheny: one (from Ráth Eanna) is that that it means the ringfort of Eanna, an early local chief, another (Ráth Eanaigh) is that the name derives from "Eanaigh" an old Irish word for marsh or swamp. Yet another (MhicNamara, deriving from Rath Ain Abha) comes from "Noble Fortress of the Sea". It is a matter unlikely ever to be fully resolved, as the origins of names were lost. Locally, most use Ráth Eanna while officialdom now tends towards Ráth Eanaigh. Until the mid-20th century, many local residents pronounced the English language name as something more like Rahenny, or Ratheny. Ringforts are fortified settlements that are generally agreed to be from the Early Medieval Period in Ireland. ...

Although there are a range of similar names (such as Rahanna), the name Raheny is nearly unique in Ireland, occurring in just one other locality, a portion of the rural town of Lusk. This once-significant monastic and civil centre in north County Dublin is not far away but no connection is known. Lusk is a town in Niobrara County, Wyoming, United States. ...

Features

In addition to the Santry River (historically Skillings Glas), Raheny is also crossed by the Naniken River (previously named Ballyhoy after a townland through which it passes), the Fox Stream and the Blackbanks Stream, all monitored by Dublin City Council. Both the Fox and Blackbanks Streams flow from the limestone area above Station Road, which used to hold caves and quarries. The Fox Stream runs through Walmer lands, under Tuscany Downs, but is today smaller than historically, as some of its flow is diverted by pipe into the already larger Blackbanks Stream. Santry River (formerly Skillings Glas) is a fairly small river on the north side of Dublin city, one of the forty or so watercourses monitored by Dublin City Council. ... The Naniken River is a minor river on the north side of Dublin city, one of more than forty watercourses monitored by Dublin City Council. ...

According to a chronicle of the ceremony of "Riding the Franchises", the Fox Stream used to mark the northern boundary of Dublin City.

A major feature is the nearly 5km beach known as Dollymount Strand, on the nature reserve of North Bull Island, shared with Clontarf. Parklands include the two largest Dublin municipal parks, North Bull Island itself and St Anne's Park (formerly the home of the Guinness family of brewing and later banking fame), which is also shared with Clontarf, as well as Edenmore Park (with a pitch and putt course and playing fields), Springdale Road Park (along the Santry River) and many small green areas. Bull Island or North Bull Island is an island located in Dublin Bay in Ireland, about 5km long and 800m wide, lying roughly parallel to the shore. ...

There is excellent walking on the sea front (one can walk from Howth to Dun Laoghaire, with problems only in the Docklands area), on North Bull Island, in St. Anne's Park and around the leafy streets.

Amenities and Business

Local amenities include many shops, including a small shopping centre, based around a Supervalu store, and several small shopping plazas. There are several financial institutions, a fitness club and multiple doctors, dentists and specific and alternative health providers. The area's swimming pool, separate from but adjacent to St. Paul's College, closed in 2006.

There are a number of sports clubs, including the famous Raheny Shamrock Athletic Club (Running, Track and Field), the noted Raheny GAA Club and Raheny United F.C., a local soccer club formed from the joining of two earlier clubs. The area was also once home to St. Vincent's GAA. Out on Bull Island, there are two golf clubs, St. Anne's G.C. and Royal Dublin G.C. and there is a "par-3" golf course in St. Anne's Park and a pitch-and-putt course on Station Road. Scouts meet at their dedicated den on the banks of the Santry River, and Guides in the shared Assembly Hall of the three National Schools on All Saints Drive.

Hospitality

Until recent years, Raheny had one of just a few hotels in the north suburbs; this shortage was reduced by the building of a range of hotels near Dublin Airport, 7 km away. However, the Sheiling Hotel, in the former Fox Hall, and a part of the small Regency Hotel group, is still operating in mid-2007. As of May 2007, planning permission has been granted, after an appeal, to redevelop the main house, a protected historic structure, as apartments, with additional apartment blocks adjacent.^[2] Dublin Airport (IATA: DUB, ICAO: EIDW), or Aerfort Bhaile Átha Cliath in Irish, is operated by the Dublin Airport Authority plc. ...

In addition, the district features a range of bed-and-breakfast establishments.

There are several pubs, the best known including the Station House, the Inn, the Watermill and the Cedar Lounge, and one restaurant, in one of the three old schoolhouses in the village centre, at the top of Main St.

Education

The neighbourhood has a boys secondary school, St. Paul's College, Raheny (attended by approximately 600 pupils in 2006) and one of Ireland's largest girls secondary schools, Manor House, as well as Ard Scoil la Salle, on Raheny Road, a mixed second level facility. The term, secondary school, refers to an institution where the third stage of schooling, known as secondary education, takes place. ... St. ...

There is a primary school complex just behind the village centre, with a mixed junior school, Scoil Ide, and distinct boys' and girls' senior schools, Scoil Assaim and Scoil Aine respectively. There is also a mixed primary school, Springdale National School, on Springdale Road, overseen by a Board of Governors, with an endowment which includes rent from some of the area's historic buildings at The Crescent. There is a special national school at St. Michael's House and another general primary school in the Grange Park locality.

Organisations and Media

A range of Residents Associations have existed but many have faded as areas have matured. One, the St. Anne's Residents Association (SARA), with some allied bodies, does operate a community hall on All Saints Drive, while the Grange Woodbine Association has facilities on Station Road. An umbrella body, the Federation of Raheny Residents, was very active up to the 1980's but has been little seen in recent times, aside from working on a (decorative but working) Millennium Clock, now sited in the village centre. Many other voluntary groups operate in the area, some secular, such as the Raheny Drama and Variety Group, and some church-related, such as the local conference of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul.

A special form of community organisation is the Maywood Avondale Bettyglen TV Association (MABTVA), which provides a local TV cable service (most of Dublin is served by one of two large TV cable systems), using its own receiving station.

The "Raheny News", a four page bulletin, printed on distinctive green paper, and aimed at keeping residents of Raheny informed of current happenings in the area, is produced weekly throughout most of the year by a group of local people. Roman Catholic and Church of Ireland parishes also produce bulletins. Raheny is part of the service area of community radio station NEAR FM. From time to time, postcards of the area are published.

Religion

All Saints Church (Church of Ireland), Raheny

Raheny has Roman Catholic and Church of Ireland (Anglican) churches, one of the former massively overlooking the centre of the village (with feature belfry and baptistry), the latter beautifully sited on the approach to the village centre from the city.

Aside from the central Roman Catholic church, the Church of Our Lady Mother of Divine Grace, of the Catholic Parish of Raheny itself, and its now little-used predecessor, St. Assam's Church, the district is served by the pyramid-style church of Kilbarrack-Foxfield Parish, by St. Benedict's, of Grange Park Parish, and by St. Brigid's, of Killester Parish, and by the chapel at the Capuchin Friary. A number of other Roman Catholic religious orders also have local presences. Prior to the restoration of local worship, Rahenyites had for centuries to attend Mass in Coolock or Clontarf. The Parish of Raheny is the modern successor to an early (1152) parish, in Raheny, a district of Dublin reputed to be a site of Christian settlement back to 570. ... St. ...

The Church of Ireland church, for the Anglican Parish of Raheny (now in Union with the Parish of Coolock), All Saints Church, which was built at the expense of members of the Guinness family, has some wonderful architectural features and is considered by many as being one of the most beautiful churches in Dublin. Before this church was built, Raheny Parish was served by the older church in the centre of Raheny, an earlier St. Assam's Church, dating back to 1712, and previously to 1609 and before. ^[3] All Saints has a Rectory in the grounds, as well as a community hall and a well-preserved gate lodge.

Areas and Housing

The civic district (civil parish) of Raheny comprises at least the townlands of Ballyhoy, Bettyville, Charleville, Edenmore, Foxlands, Glebe, Maryville, Mountolive or Mount of Olives, North Bull Island, Raheny North, Raheny South and (the) Snug. Some historic records also note the village centre as a distinct entity, "Raheny Town". Foxlands now contains Avondale, Maywood and Bettyglen, while Mountolive (and parts of Swan's Nest) now include several roads and estates, notably "Tuscany Downs" whose naming caused ministerial comment and public discussion about inappropriate naming conventions^[4].

The civil parish is still maintained in law, and its boundaries were last reviewed during 1985, with their extension to a greater part of Dublin Bay. Dublin Bay in relation to Ireland. ...

Other housing developments in Raheny include St. Anne's, situated on parts of the former Guinness estate not retained as public park, Cill Eanna and Ennafort, Avondale, Maywood, "New" and "Old" Bettyglen, St. Assam's and Foxfield, Ashcroft, Belmont, Grange Park and Grange-Woodbine. There are a number of housing units for older people, notably in St. Anne's and at Avondale, and a Garda Retirement Home.

Locality

Two of the townlands were largely developed to form a new district of Edenmore by Dublin Corporation. Although still part of the overall district, and shown in addresses as Edenmore, Raheny, the new area, with its own schools, shopping centre, church (Roman Catholic), health centre, and some sports teams, is increasingly distinct.

The locality of Harmonstown, straddling the boundary between Raheny and Artane, lies just over the railway line from the Ennafort housing development. Harmonstown is a small suburban locality straddling the boundary between modern-day Artane and Raheny. ...
