It is principally bordered by other parts of Ballymun, and Finglas, and to a modest extent by Ballygall. The area includes Poppintree Park.^[1] the Poppintree Sports and Community Complex^[2]

Etymology

The name is derived from the townland^[3] in the civil parish of Santry (Ballymun was established primarily on Santry lands). It borders a smaller townland of the same name to the west the parish of Finglas.

History

Poppintree is derived from Pappan's Tree, named in honour of the 6th century abbot, Saint Pappan, who built a small chapel in Santry.^[4] The area was the site of a large tree under which was held an annual commemoration service to Saint Pappan on the last day of July. The services ceased by 1845.^[5]

Transportation

Buses serving the area are 4, 13, 88n, 140, 155, 220, N6.
