Coonagh Neighbourhood Guide
Limerick
About Coonagh
Coonagh is a mainly suburban and employment-oriented area on Limerick’s northern and western outskirts, close to the River Shannon and the N18 corridor. It sits near Clondrinagh and Clonmacken, with Clarina and Mungret across the river and city-centre neighbourhoods a short drive or bus journey away. The area combines established housing with industrial, retail and trade activity, particularly around Coonagh Cross and the Coonagh West business parks. Families have access to nearby primary and secondary schools in Limerick’s northside suburbs, while the University of Limerick and Limerick Institute of Technology campuses are reachable by road and public transport. Commuters benefit from the N18, the Limerick Tunnel and links towards Shannon, Ennis and Galway, although traffic can build at peak times. Everyday shopping is convenient at Coonagh Cross, with larger retail parks and supermarkets nearby, while cafés, takeaways and casual restaurants are more common than destination dining. For leisure, residents are close to Shannon Fields, the River Shannon riverside and city amenities, with local GAA, football and community facilities available in surrounding areas.
