Drimnagh (Irish : Droimeanach) is a stop on the Luas light-rail tram system in Dublin, Ireland. It opened in 2004 as a stop on the Red Line. [1] The stop is located on a section of track which runs alongside the Grand Canal, in Drimnagh. [2] It provides access to Our Lady's Children's Hospital, Crumlin and the Richmond Barracks.

The stop was built at the same time as a footbridge which allows access to areas on the north of the canal. However, unlike the nearby Goldenbridge, the bridge is not step-free accessible.

The stop is also served by Dublin Bus route 123.

Drimnagh is intended to be a stop on the proposed Luas line to Lucan. [3]
