About Ballina

It has a practical, community-oriented feel, with established residential areas around a lively town centre and attractive riverfront surroundings. Families have access to local primary and secondary education, including Saint Oliver Plunkett National School, while the wider town provides shops, professional services and everyday facilities. Commuters can use regional bus services and the N26 and N59 road corridors, with Ballina railway station providing rail connections towards Manulla Junction and onward to Dublin.
