About Ballinasloe

Ballinasloe sits at an ancient crossing on the River Suck in eastern Galway, serving as the commercial hub for the surrounding agricultural region. The M6 motorway runs just south of town, putting Dublin 154 kilometers east and Galway 60 kilometers west, with handy connections to Athlone, Loughrea, and beyond. The town has a railway station on the Dublin-Galway line and about 14 public EV chargers. Clonmacnoise lies 25 kilometers southeast for those interested in early Christian sites. The real draw is Europe's oldest horse fair each October, which has been pulling in traders from across Ireland and beyond for over 300 years.
