You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Balgriffin''' (((lang-ga|Baile Ghrífín)), meaning "[[Griffin (surname)|Griffin]]'s town") is a suburb of [[Dublin]], [[Republic of Ireland|Ireland]]. It lies on the administrative boundary between Dublin City and the county of [[Fingal]] in the traditional [[County Dublin]].

Balgriffin is also a [[Civil parishes in Ireland|civil parish]] in the ancient [[Barony (Ireland)|barony]] of [[Coolock (barony)|Coolock]].<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.logainm.ie/828.aspx |title=Balgriffin civil parish |website=Placenames Database of Ireland))</ref>

==Location==
[[File:Dublin.lennukiaknast.jpg|thumb|Aerial photo showing Balgriffin, including Belmayne, in the immediate foreground, with the Donaghies housing estate and more of Donaghmede in the background]]

Balgriffin is situated approximately ((convert|8|km|2|abbr=on)) from [[Dublin]] city centre. It is a civil parish of 540 acres in the [[Barony (Ireland)|barony]] of [[Coolock (barony)|Coolock]]. For elections to [[Dáil Éireann]], it is in the [[Dáil constituency]] of [[Dublin Fingal (Dáil constituency)|Dublin Fingal]], having previously been in the constituency of [[Dublin North-East (Dáil constituency)|Dublin North-East]]. It is in the Dublin 13 postal district.

The area's [[Local government in the Republic of Ireland|local government]] administration is divided between [[Dublin City Council]] and [[Fingal County Council]].

==Geography==
The two main branches of the [[List of rivers of County Dublin|Mayne River]] (sometimes referred to as the "Moyne"), the Turnapin Stream and the Cuckoo Stream, run through the plains of the district, picking up smaller streams. The Turnapin flows in the southern part of the area, coming from the old Belcamp Estate and running north of the main Belmayne development, while the Cuckoo comes east near Limekiln Lane and forms the northern boundary of the Fingal Burial Ground. Flooding sometimes hits Limekiln Lane. The Turnapin and the Cuckoo merge in eastern Balgriffin and the Mayne then flows out to Baldoyle Bay (Balgriffin Road becomes Moyne Road as it approaches the coast).

==Access and transport==
The hamlet of Balgriffin is served by Balgriffin Road from the east ([[Portmarnock]]), the R139 from [[Dublin Airport]] and [[Donaghmede]] on its southern edge, and by Malahide Road from the north ([[Kinsealy]] and [[Malahide]]) and south (Dublin city centre, [[Fairview, Dublin|Fairview]] and [[Coolock]]).

==History==
Balgriffin is an old district that can be found on maps, many held in [[Dublin City Libraries|Dublin City Archive]] and Dublin County Archive, going back hundreds of years. In 1388 Robert Burnell, judge of the [[Court of Exchequer (Ireland)|Court of Exchequer]], was lord of the manor of Balgriffin; his descendants who were also lords of the manor of [[Castleknock]], were still at Balgriffin in the seventeenth century. Historically, it has remained as a lightly settled area of fields with a [[Hamlet (place)|hamlet]] at a crossroads, at which now stands an 18th-century [[Public houses in Ireland|public house]], some cottages, a [[village green]] and hall, and two [[cemeteries]] – the older of which is to the west, the newer, civic, one to the east.<ref>[http://www.interment.net/data/ireland/dublin/balgriffin/index.htm  Balgriffin Cemetery]</ref><ref>[http://www.interment.net/data/ireland/dublin/fingal/index.htm  Fingal Cemetery]</ref> In 1542, [[Henry VIII]] granted Conn Bacach O'Neill an estate in Balgriffin as a part of the settlement of [[surrender and regrant]] that granted the former King of Tir Eoghan the new titled of [[Earl of Tyrone]].<ref>"Sir Sidney's Memoirs of his government in Ireland 1583" ULSTER JOURNAL OF ARCHEOLOGY First Series, Volume III, 1885. Pg. 46, footnote #6</ref>

The best-known feature of the area is the early St Doulagh's Church; it is also said that [[magnate]] de Burgo ([[House of Burke|Burke]]) had a base close by.

===Development===
Until recent years a small rural settlement, Balgriffin experienced several developments, including St. Samson's and Castlemoyne, and most notably the substantial one called [[Belmayne]], infamous for its provocative advertising, and which remains unfinished.<ref>Dublin, Ireland: The Irish Times [http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/ireland/2012/0223/1224312243120.html?via=rel], retrieved Feb 23 2012 ((Dead link|date=September 2023))</ref> This development was, in February 2011, the subject of urgent fire safety works, but without the evacuation of residents experienced in nearby Priory Hall, Donaghmede.<ref>Dublin, Ireland: The Irish Times [http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/frontpage/2012/0223/1224312244553.html], retrieved Feb 23 2012 ((Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121025151310/http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/frontpage/2012/0223/1224312244553.html |date=25 October 2012 ))</ref>

==Amenities==
The historic pub has been joined over the last decade by shops and eating facilities in southern Balgriffin.

==Features==
Approximately ((convert|1|km|2|abbr=on)) north of the hamlet of Balgriffin is [[St Doulagh's Church]].<ref>[http://www.dublincitypubliclibraries.com/dublin-buildings/st-doulaghs-church  St Doulagh's Church (Dublin City Council)] ((webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111025030258/http://www.dublincitypubliclibraries.com/dublin-buildings/st-doulaghs-church |date=2011-10-25 ))</ref> At first a [[monastery]], it is now a well known and much revered [[Church of Ireland]] church. It was built in the [[5th century in Ireland|5th century]] and renovated in the [[Norman invasion of Ireland|12th century]].<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.malahide.dublin.anglican.org/blog/index.php/st-doulaghs-history|title=St.Doulagh's Church|date=19 December 2005 ))</ref>

At the time of its inception, the Welsh [[Samson of Dol|Saint Samson]] made a pilgrimage to Dun Etair (((Irish place name|Binn Éadair))) (Contemporary [[Howth]]) and is said to have founded the monastery that is now St Doulagh's Church.<ref>The life of St Samson of Dol by Thomas Taylor (Kessinger Publishing, LLC (July 25, 2007)): CNRS ((ISBN|0-548-09467-5))</ref><ref>The emergence of monasticism: from the Desert Fathers to the early Middle Ages By Marilyn Dunn (Blackwell Publishers Ltd, 2003): CNRS ((ISBN|1-4051-0641-7)))</ref> The church was originally under the patronage of St. Samson.  As Balgriffin was in the past referred to as Ballygriffin and Griffinstown, the place name indicates that it was indeed settled by a [[Wales|Welsh]] person.<ref>[http://brigid-undertheoak.blogspot.com/2010/11/irish-saints-of-november-duilech-of.html  Irish Saints of November: Duilech of Clochar MEMOIR OF THE CHURCH OF ST. DUILECH]</ref>

==Religion==
St Doulagh's Church, Balgriffin has been serving [[Church of Ireland|Anglican]] parishioners since the [[Reformation in Ireland]].<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.malahide.dublin.anglican.org/blog|title=St.Doulagh's Church|publisher=United Parishes of Malahide, Portmarnock & St Doulagh's|access-date=22 October 2011|archive-date=11 July 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120711131935/http://www.malahide.dublin.anglican.org/blog/|url-status=dead))</ref>

Donaghmede Parish served Balgriffin [[Roman Catholic]] parishioners since its inception in 1974, with a Mass hall and then Holy Trinity Church.<ref>[http://holytrinityparish.ie  Holy Trinity Church, Donaghmede-Clongriffin-Balgriffin Parish]</ref> The parish is today known as Holy Trinity Parish and serves Donaghmede including Clongriffin, and Balgriffin including Belmayne. With the growth of population as the Belmayne housing development was populated, Balgriffin Mass Centre was opened, operating from the information centre on Belmayne Avenue, but this no longer functions.
