==Geography== thumb|upright|Welcome to Ballymun bilingual sign Ballymun lies on the plains of southern Fingal (the historic area, rather than the modern county), sloping from northwest to southeast, from the catchment of the Santry River through that of the Wad River. The Santry River rises in Harristown and Dubber, northwest of Ballymun, and crosses and drains the northern parts of the district. The Wad is the area's main watershed, with several branches around Poppintree; it flows southeast, eventually reaching the estuary of the River Tolka at Clontarf.
