Loughshinny is a small coastal village in northern County Dublin, situated on the Irish Sea coastline between the towns of Skerries and Rush. Its position along Ireland's eastern seaboard makes it a natural point for submarine cable infrastructure connecting Ireland to neighbouring islands. One submarine cable lands at Loughshinny, linking Ireland to the Isle of Man and the United Kingdom across a short but regionally significant corridor in the Irish Sea.
The single cable landing here, Havhingsten/CeltixConnect-2 (CC-2), establishes Loughshinny as a terminal point in an inter-island and cross-sea route. While not among Ireland's highest-volume landing hubs, the village joins a broader national network of 14 landing points across Ireland that together host 16 submarine cables.
Havhingsten/CeltixConnect-2 (CC-2) is a 301-kilometre submarine cable that reached ready-for-service status in 2022. The cable connects Ireland, the Isle of Man, and the United Kingdom, forming a triangular routing across the Irish Sea. With its 2022 RFS date, it is among the more recently commissioned cables in the Irish submarine cable network. The cable's relatively short length reflects the confined geography of the Irish Sea corridor it serves, linking three distinct jurisdictions within a compact maritime region.
Among Ireland's 14 submarine cable landing points, Loughshinny hosts one cable, placing it alongside several single-cable landing points including Ballinesker, Ballygrangans, Castlefreke, and Clonshaugh. Dublin remains the country's most connected landing point with three cables, while Kilmore Quay hosts two. Loughshinny's single-cable status is therefore representative of the majority of Irish landing points, where infrastructure is focused rather than concentrated.
Loughshinny functions as a single-cable terminus, serving as Ireland's endpoint on the Havhingsten/CeltixConnect-2 route that spans the Irish Sea to the Isle of Man and the United Kingdom. This positions the village within a regional connectivity corridor rather than a long-haul intercontinental one, reflecting the 301-kilometre reach of the cable. The route enables direct submarine connectivity between three separate jurisdictions — Ireland, the Isle of Man, and the United Kingdom — without routing through larger hub landing points.
Within Ireland's broader submarine cable geography, Loughshinny represents the country's north Dublin coast as a landing location, complementing the distribution of cable infrastructure spread across Ireland's southern, western, and eastern shores. Its presence in the national network illustrates how inter-island routes of modest length contribute to the overall diversity and geographic spread of Ireland's submarine cable graph.
