About
Killiney (Irish: Cill Iníon Léinín, meaning 'church of the daughters of Léinín') is an affluent coastal suburb on the southside of Dublin, Ireland. It lies south of Dalkey, east and northeast of Ballybrack and Sallynoggin and north of Shankill, in the local government area of Dún Laoghaire–Rathdown within County Dublin. The place grew around the 11th century Killiney Church, and became a popular seaside resort in the 19th century. The area is notable for some famous residents, including two members of U2, and Enya. Killiney is in a civil parish of the same name, in the barony of Rathdown.
