Farranshone Neighbourhood Guide
Limerick
About Farranshone
Farranshone is a mature, mainly residential area on Limerick’s north side, between the city centre, Ennis Road, Thomondgate and Ballynanty. It has an established suburban feel, with housing close to the River Shannon and within easy reach of the city’s northside amenities. Residents are well placed for schools including St Munchin’s College and nearby primary schools, while Limerick Institute of Technology’s Moylish campus is also accessible. City-centre commuting is straightforward by bus, bicycle or on foot, and the Ennis Road and nearby road network provide useful connections towards the M7, Shannon and Ennis. Local day-to-day shopping is available around Ennis Road and the city centre, with larger supermarkets and retail services a short trip away. Pubs, cafés and restaurants are concentrated along Ennis Road and in the city centre, while Thomond Park, the Gaelic Grounds and the North Circular Road area add strong sporting and leisure options. The nearby riverside, Shelbourne Park and Limerick’s extensive city-centre cultural and retail offer make Farranshone a practical base for households wanting established surroundings without being far from the centre.
