Etymology
The name is derived from the townland[3] in the civil parish of Santry. It borders a smaller townland of the same name to the west the parish of Finglas.
History
Poppintree is derived from Pappan's Tree, named in honour of the 6th century abbot, Saint Pappan, who built a small chapel in nearby Santry.[4] The area was the site of a large tree under which was held an annual commemoration service to Saint Pappan on the last day of July. The services ceased by 1845.[5]
Transportation
Buses serving the area are 4, 13, 88n, 140, 155, 220, N6.
