Windy Arbour (Irish: Na Glasáin), historically called Glassons,[1] is a small suburban village in the Dundrum area of Dublin, Ireland.
[2] "Arbour" once had the meaning “grass plot, lawn, garden”; it is possible that the name was intended as a direct translation of glasáin.
Patients are referred by the courts, the prisons and local hospitals for both assessment and residential treatment.

[citation needed] At the centre of Windy Arbour is the smaller and much older townland of Farranboley, which appears on maps dating from the 18th century.
