Clare-ification
|
Killaloe is on the cross-roads between counties and regions in ireland:
Munster and Tipperary. The town of Killaloe in County Clare, and the
Killaloe Leisure Harbour is in Ballina town in County Tipperary. It is
confusing for people who are even from Clare, because they used to be
two towns (with two separate post offices), but have since joined... but
not in name. Ballina still exist even though everyone calls the area
collectively, Killaloe. However, I put it in the "Shannon Region" part
of my Ireland series because it's on the River Shannon, which is where
most people seem to look for it, and where it's often seen on maps. I'm
sure if I were actually from Ireland, I would have all this figured
out better, or at least, could explain it better. But, never mind: just
go off and view the pictures.
