Parish of Coolock (Roman Catholic)

Founded in the early days of Irish Christian parish structures, the Parish of Coolock, today a mid-size suburban community on the northside of Dublin, was for many years during penal times one of the few functioning Roman Catholic structures in the Dublin area. Based on the district of Coolock and the barony of the same name, it was centred on different districts at different times.
