Booterstown (Baile an Bhóthair in Irish) is based in the Dún Laoghaire Rathdown County Council Area along the coast, about 5 miles south of the City of Dublin. The name "Booterstown" is an anglicised form of the original Gaelic name "Baile an Bhóthair", meaning Town of the Road.

Booterstown Marsh is a well known bird sanctuary which over the years has been sought to be protected by An Taisce.

Kevin O'Higgins, Minister for Justice in the Government of The Irish Free State was assassinated on Booterstown Avenue on his way to mass at Booterstown Parish Church, on 10 July 1927 by members of the IRA whose ire he had aroused by ordering the execution of many republicans during his tenure in Office. In later years, it became known that he was the lover of Lady Lavery, wife of Sir John Lavery and whose portrait appeared on Irish currency notes over many years from the foundation of the State. The catholic Church of the Assumption, is the focal point of the area.
