Sallynoggin (Irish: An Naigín) is an area of Dublin in Ireland, in Dún Laoghaire–Rathdown county and the Dáil constituency of Dún Laoghaire. The area consists mainly of former local authority housing built between the late 1940s and the mid-1950s by Dún Laoghaire Borough Corporation.
On early 20th century maps Sallynoggin and Glenageary are indicated as being the same place, however, with the development of the local authority housing estate on the Townlands of Honeypark and Thomastown, Sallynoggin became a distinct area.
Mackintosh park was the terminus of the 7A Dublin Bus route, but the first few departures in the morning terminated at Pearse Villas. The route originally ran every 3 minutes with more running on Saturdays and Sundays. Up to 112 departures of the 7A ran every day with 125 on some days. The bus used to be as popular as the 46A. A few years ago Dublin Bus scrapped the route. But, on November 13, 2016 Dublin Bus reintroduced the 7A. The new route leaves from Loughlinstown Wood Estate and has the exact same route of the old 7. On November 13, the 7 was moved out of Sallynoggin onto the Sallyglen Road and moved onto the Blackrock bypass. It also leaves Brides Glen, avoiding the old terminus in Loughlinstown. Dublin Bus also redesigned the 111 to go every hour from Brides Glen via Loughlinstown Hospital, Loughlinstown Wood Estate, Watsons, Sallynoggin, Mountown Road, Dún Laoghaire. The bus continues through to Glasthule and terminates at the old 8 terminus in Dalkey. For more route info check out www.dublinbus.ie
