It is also part of an Ecclesiastical parish of "Parteen-Meelick" in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Limerick.[2] The village has a large church (St Patrick's), three public houses, a national school, and one shop. It is within sight of the Ardnacrusha hydroelectric power station.
The village is just north of Limerick on the R464 road. It is on the left bank of the River Shannon near the suburb of Corbally.
