portumna

This thriving market town is situated at the south-eastern corner of Co. Galway, beside the north shore of Lough Derg -the last of the great Shannon Lakes. Bordered on the east by the Shannon river, which offers access to the lake, Portumna is an important point of traffic across the Shannon between the West of Ireland, the Midlands and North Tipperary. It is a major cruise base for leisure traffic on the Shannon.
