History
Tyrrelstown derives its name from that of the Tyrrell family, including Hugh Tyrrel, who was granted lands in the parishes of Clonsilla and Mulhuddart in 1178 by Hugh de Lacy, Lord of Meath. Historically Tyrrelstown is part of the barony of Castleknock within the historic County Dublin. Much of the area's history is intertwined with that of Cruiserath, Castleknock, Mulhuddart and other adjacent places. To the south is Tyrrelstown House, which dates back to 1720 and which is listed on the Record of Protected Structures for Fingal. About 1580 Tyrrelstown was granted to the Bellings family, whose most prominent member was Richard Bellings, one of the leaders of Confederate Ireland.
