Scholarstown Interchange is junction 12 of the M50, serving the Firhouse area of Dublin. It is often referred to as "Firhouse".
It is one of the chaotic M50's quieter junctions, but hasn't been without its own problems. It was converted from a teardrop to a diamond in 2010. It still experiences regular congestion in the evenings, due to the low capacity of St Colmcilles Way.
Under the "green route" plan for the M50 that was put forward as a cost-saving option in the late 1970s, this junction would have been replaced by a flat roundabout. It would have been very unlikely to be built, had the Ballycullen Interchange been built.
TII, who are responsible for the road, call it Firhouse Interchange.
