Cornelscourt (Irish: Cúirt an Choirnéil) is a small suburban area within the traditional County Dublin, now in the jurisdiction of Dún Laoghaire–Rathdown. Situated between Cabinteely, Carrickmines and Foxrock, it is a primarily residential area, but is perhaps best known for being the site of Ireland's first big-box store, a branch of Dunnes Stores, and the country's first drive-through bank.
Geography
Cornelscourt has an area of 44.95 hectares.[1] It stretches west to Kerrymount Avenue, south to the Old Bray Road, and east across the N11 to include all of Monaloe (directly behind Clonkeen College).[1] Cornelscourt is in the civil parish of Kill, within the barony of Rathdown.[1] It is also in the electoral division of Stillorgan.
Cornelscourt consists of houses and shops on either side of a section of the bypassed Old Bray Road, between the junction with the N11 to the east. Along this strip are a petrol station, several food outlets, a drama school, a convenience store, a pharmacy and the Dunnes Stores supermarket. Also along the strip was pub called "The Magic Carpet" [now closed] which contained one of Ireland's first non-smoking lounges in a pub – the "Samuel Beckett" lounge, named after a former customer – and which had an exhibition space, the "Gallery Intermarium"; a 60-seat theatre named the "Dolmen Theatre" opened above the pub in 2015 and closed in 2020. The surrounding suburban housing is laid out in housing estates.
Ireland's first experimental drive-through bank opened in Cornelscourt in 1990 and closed 12 years later.[2]
A bronze sculpture Eoinín na nÉan (Eoineen of the Birds) by Colm J. Brennan was erected in 2008.
Transport
A number of bus routes operated by Dublin Bus as well as Go-Ahead Ireland serve Cornelscourt such as the 63, 63A 84, 84a, 84x, 133, 143, 145 and 155.[3][4] The Aircoach 702 route[5] also stops at Cabinteely Cross on its route from Greystones to Dublin Airport.
The Luas Green Line passes near Cornelscourt, with Carrickmines as it’s nearest stop,[6] which is a 20 minute walk to Cornelscourt with a journey time of less than 40 minutes to Dublin City Centre.[7]
Local Area Plan
The area has been designated a 'District Centre' by Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council.[8] A local area plan for the area is being implemented with the aim of making aesthetic and functional improvements through redesign of road layout, street furniture etc.[9]
