Moore.

Moore is approx. 10 miles from Athlone and 7 miles from Ballinasloe, on the main Dublin to Galway Road (the N6). It is bordered on the east by the River Shannon and on the south by the River Suck. The area was once part of the kingdom of Hy Maine, the seat of the O'Kelly's. It has a population of approx. 1,500 people.

Moore is unusual, in that it is situated in the Diocese of Tuam (rather than Elphin).
