About Collooney
Collooney is a village in County Sligo, about ten kilometres south of Sligo town, at the meeting point of the N4 and N17 roads and close to the River Unshin.

Families have local primary-school provision, while secondary pupils generally travel to schools in Sligo or nearby Ballisodare. The village is well placed for commuters, with regular bus services and quick road connections towards Sligo, Galway and the west, although a car is useful for many everyday journeys. Local life centres on the village’s shops, pubs and community facilities, with additional cafés, restaurants, retail and healthcare available in Sligo town. Parkes Garage provides a recognisable local service stop, while the village’s church and Church Car Park are central landmarks. Outdoor options include walks around the Unshin valley and easy access to attractions such as Hazelwood, Sligo town and the Ox Mountains.
