context_page_description: Lucan is a suburban town and village located roughly 12km west of Dublin City Centre on the River Liffey. It is located near the Strawberry Beds and Lucan Weir, and at the confluence of the River Griffeen. The majority of the area lies under the jurisdiction of South Dublin County Council while a small portion north of the River Liffey, including Laraghcon, Westmanstown, St Catherine's Park and Lucan Demesne, lies within the jurisdiction of Fingal County Council. Main road access to Lucan is from the N4, and the M50 motorway at Junction 7.
context_section_description: Lucan village is located north of the N4/M4 national primary route to the west and northwest of Ireland. The village is approximately 5 km (3.1 mi) west of the M50 Dublin ring road. An outer-orbital distributor called the Outer Ring Road, designated as R136, from the N4 (Woodies) interchange to the N81 Tallaght Bypass, was completed in 2008.
  Lucan is located between two major national/commuter railway lines. The original Lucan North (Leixlip) Station on the north/northwest line, and Lucan South station on the south/southwest line, were closed in 1941 and 1947, respectively. The greenfield development of the Lucan townlands as a major residential area was predicated on the prime location between the motorways and railways. Adamstown railway station re-opened in 2007 to serve the area; it is located south of Finnstown, Lucan. This station will also service significant further developments planned to the south of Adamstown townlands and the south/southwest commuter line.
  In 2018 it was announced that the Luas is planned to be extended to Lucan under the governments 'Project Ireland 2040' transport plan.
