 Shannon View Lounge in Portrun was originally owned by Ned Nixon, who initially leased and later sold the premises to James J. McDermott and his wife, Mary Ellen (nee Cunlisk), about the turn of the twentieth century. James J. and Mary Ellen has four daughters and one son, Patrick J. who inherited the business. When Paddy Joe McDermott died the business passed to his eldest son, Vincent, who ran the pub up to the time of his death.

Shannon View Lounge overlooks beautiful Lough Ree with easy access to the lake from the recently constructed jetty or directly from the shore. Portrunny Bay and Lough Ree are excellent venues for fishing, sailing or water sports.
