About Carrigkerry
Carrigkerry is a small rural village in west County Limerick, positioned between Newcastle West, Athea and Shanagolden, with the wider V94 area extending across the county’s rolling farmland. It has a close-knit, village-community character, with homes and farms set around a compact centre and quiet roads leading towards the surrounding townlands. Daily life is peaceful and countryside-based, while Newcastle West provides the nearest substantial range of supermarkets, secondary schooling, healthcare, banking, cafés, restaurants and other services. Carrigkerry National School serves local families, with further primary and post-primary options available in nearby towns and villages. There is no railway station in Carrigkerry, so residents generally rely on cars, local bus services and the road network for commuting; Newcastle West and Listowel are useful nearby service and employment centres.

The village is also well placed for exploring west Limerick’s countryside, the River Deel area and the wider Shannon Estuary and Atlantic coast, while Newcastle West’s parks, leisure facilities and shops are within a short drive.
