Pallasgreen or Pallasgrean (Irish: Pailís Ghréine, meaning 'stockade of Grian') is a village in east County Limerick, Ireland. It is on the Limerick–Tipperary N24 road around 20 kilometres (12 mi) southeast of Limerick city. The name means "the Stockade of Grian," referring to an ancient Irish Goddess of Love, who is associated with the nearby hill of Nicker. Approximately 2 km south of Pallasgreen is the related village, Old Pallas, and roughly three miles south of Pallasgreen is Sarsfield's Rock, a large rocky outcrop near the church of Templebraden. This rocky outcrop looks down on the site where Patrick Sarsfield destroyed the Williamite artillery during the Jacobite-Williamite War. The rock itself has views of the surrounding hills and fields. Irish American hammer thrower, Patrick Ryan was born at Old Pallas near Pallasgreen in 1881.The village of Pallasgreen is served by a service station, a butcher, a post office, an insurance broker, four pubs, two mechanics, a Chinese takeaway, a chipper, two hairdressers, and a sit-down/takeaway restaurant.The Pallasgreen Gaelic Athletic Association club play in the colours of blue and gold, identical to the colours of County Tipperary, whose border is just six miles away. The parish of Pallasgreen and Templebraden also has connections with this bordering county as it is one of a number of parishes in east County Limerick which form part of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Cashel and Emly. The parish had originally been part of the ancient diocese of Emly until it joined with Cashel in 1718. Public transportation is provided by Bus Éireann and local company, Kelly Travel.

Knockainey
Knockainey

Knockainey or Knockainy (Irish: Cnoc Áine, meaning 'hill of Áine') is a civil parish and village in County Limerick, Ireland. It is in the historical barony of Smallcounty, between the towns of Hospital and Bruff. There are a large number of archaeological sites in the area, including several on Knockainy Hill in the townland of Knockainy West. These remains, which include cursus, cairn, ring fort, standing stone and ring barrow sites, form part of a complex traditionally associated with the sun goddess Áine. A nearby clapper bridge, known as Clochán Áine, is also associated with Áine. Knockainy Castle is a 15th or 16th century tower house, associated by several sources with the O'Grady family, who were stewards to the Earls of Desmond. The former Church of Ireland church in Knockainy, dedicated to Saint John, was built in the 19th century on the site of a much earlier ecclesiastical enclosure. The building's bell tower dates to the 17th century, and there is an O'Grady family plaque dating to the early 16th century. This church was deconsecrated in 1999 and is now used to host events. The local Catholic church, a more modern building, is located to the south. It forms part of the parish of Knockaney and Patrickswell in the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Cashel and Emly. The local national (primary) school, Knockainey National School or Scoil Náisiúnta Cnoc Áine, had an enrollment of 181 pupils as of January 2024. The local Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) club, Knockainey GAA, won the Limerick Intermediate Hurling Championship in 2001.
