Coonagh Neighbourhood Guide
Limerick
About Coonagh
Coonagh is a largely suburban and mixed-use area on Limerick’s north-western edge, beside the River Shannon and close to Clarina, Clonmacken, Clondrinagh and Mungret. It combines established housing with industrial, retail and business areas, giving it a practical, well-connected character rather than the feel of a traditional village centre. The Coonagh Cross shopping area provides everyday retail and services, while nearby Caherdavin and Limerick city offer a wider choice of supermarkets, cafés, restaurants, pubs and cultural venues. Families have access to primary and secondary schools in the surrounding north-side suburbs, with further education and third-level options available in Limerick city. Road access is a major advantage: the N69 and N18/M7 connections make commuting towards the city, Shannon and surrounding counties straightforward, although traffic can be busy at peak times. Regular city bus services operate through the wider Coonagh, Clonmacken and Caherdavin area, while Limerick city centre’s Colbert Station provides rail and intercity bus connections. Leisure options include riverside walks, nearby parks and sports facilities, with the University of Limerick and larger city amenities within reach by car. The area is also close to notable employers and businesses around Coonagh Industrial Estate and benefits from convenient access to Limerick’s hospitals, retail parks and airport connections.
