Collinstown, County Dublin
Collinstown (Irish: Baile Choilín)[1] is a townland in Fingal, County Dublin, roughly 7 km north of Dublin in Ireland. It is in the civil parish of Santry, within the barony of Coolock.[1]
Collinstown townland is approximately 394 acres (1.6 km2) in area.[2] It is entirely within the perimeter of Dublin Airport, which grew out of Collinstown Aerodrome, originally a Royal Air Force station. In the Irish War of Independence, the aerodrome was converted to become Collinstown Camp, used for internment of Irish republicans.[3][4][5] Construction of the airport followed, and it expanded over time, spreading into neighbouring administrative areas.
