Ballyoulster (Irish: Baile Ualstair)[2] is a village and townland located in County Kildare, Ireland. Historically it lies within the barony of South Salt and the civil parish of Donaghcumper.[3] For planning purposes, it is treated by Kildare County Council as a 'key development area' within the local area plan for the nearby town of Celbridge.[4] It is, however, treated independently by the Central Statistics Office for census purposes, and was recorded as having a population of 479 people in the 2016 census.[1] Ballyoulster United is the local association football (soccer) club, which (as of 2015) was competing in the Leinster Senior League.[5][6]
