Al-Mustafa Islamic Cultural Centre Ireland

This article is about the Clonee body. For other bodies with similar names, see Islam in the Republic of Ireland § Mosques and denominations.

The Al-Mustafa Islamic Cultural Centre Ireland, which started its activities as Clonee Mosque, based in the village of Clonee, is the mainstream and leading Islamic Centre in Dublin 15, Ireland.[1] It was established in January 2004 as Clonee Mosque, to act as a place of worship for the Muslim community in Clonee and surrounding areas of Dublin 15.[2]

In 2007, due to the high number of attendees attending Friday prayers, Clonee Mosque relocated to an industrial unit in Damastown.[3] The Islamic Center represents more traditional Sufi-oriented Barelvi movement.[4]
