Roosky

Roosky is a small settlement on the upper Shannon, sitting alongside the river where a lateral canal was constructed to aid navigation. The village is home to Ireland's premier commercial fishery, making it a popular stop for anglers of all experience levels.

Nearby, Shannon River Adventure on Kilglass Lake offers active water-based pursuits for visitors.

An ancient Ogham stone, inscribed with the name "QENUVEN," has been re-erected at the entrance to the local graveyard, adding a layer of historical interest to the area.
