It is a townland in the civil parish of Castleknock which is in turn part of the Barony of Castleknock. The barony (an old administrative division) is one of seven and a half comprising County Dublin and stretches from Cabra to Blanchardstown (from east to west) and from Finglas to Chapelizod (from north to south)[1].
Transport
Public transport in Coolmine is provided by Dublin Bus, Urbus and a commuter train station on the Western Suburban Maynooth line. Coolmine railway station was opened on 2 July 1990.[2] The Dublin Bus routes are: 37 38/A/B/C. The privately owned URBus serves Swords via Dublin Airport and may be accessed at nearby Castleknock railway station..
The Navan Road / N3 is the main road artery. The interchange presently under construction will provide for auxiliary lanes between the M1 and N3 junction. The NRA anticipates completion in Q4 2010.[3]
Sport
Coolmine Sports Complex has been the main swimming and gymnastic facility since 1975. It has recently opened floodlit astroturf football pitches. Currently these are the only such facilities available in the area. Coolmine Swimming Club is located here as are Coolmine Karate Club, Taekwondo, Judo, Jujitsu and Coolmine Gymnastics Club.
