Glasnevin Hotels & Information

Glasnevin is a largely residential neighbourhood of Dublin, Ireland. It is located on the Northside of the city of Dublin (about 3 km north of Dublin City). It was originally established on the northern bank of the River Tolka. It is bordered to the northwest by Ballygall, northeast by Ballymun, Whitehall to the east, Phibsboro and Drumcondra to the south and Cabra to the west.

A timber church, which originally stood on Berkeley Road, was moved to a riverside site on Botanic Avenue early in the twentieth century. The altar in this church was from Newgate prison in Dublin. It served as the parish church until it was replaced, in 1972, by a pyramidal structure. The previous church was known locally as "The Woodener" or "The Wooden" and the new building is still known to older residents as "The new Woodener". Its official name is Our Lady of Dolours.

In 1975 the new headquarters of Met ?ireann, the Irish Meteorological Office, opened just off Glasnevin Hill. It, too, was built in a somewhat pyramidal shape and is recognised as one of the most significant, smaller commercial buildings, to be erected in Dublin in the 1970's.
