==Transport== thumb|left|Ballybrophy railway station Ballybrophy railway station is a connection point between the Dublin-Cork railway line and the Limerick–Ballybrophy railway line. Trains wishing to cross from the Limerick to the Dublin line must perform time-consuming reversals. The line is lightly travelled, because an alternative routing via Limerick Junction is quicker and more comfortable owing to newer track and fewer speed restrictions. The station opened on 1 September 1847.
