3About Effin
Effin sits quietly in County Limerick's farmland, about 25 kilometres southeast of Limerick city in the heart of the Golden Vale. Most visitors arrive via the N24 from Limerick toward Tipperary, then turn south through Pallasgreen on local roads. From Cork, take the N20 north through Charleville, connecting via the R515. The village serves the surrounding farming communities, with local traffic mainly coming from nearby market towns like Kilmallock and Hospital. Electric vehicle drivers should plan charging stops in Limerick city, as only about 9 public fast chargers serve the broader area. The name comes from the Irish "Eimhín," meaning "swift," likely referring to a quick-flowing local stream.
