Knockainey is a small rural community of approx 700 people, in south east Limerick, between the villages of Hospital and Bruff, and Lough Gur is within the parish. In Knockainey there is a primary school with over 100 pupils, St. Mary’s Catholic church, a Community Centre and two pubs.
This is a very vibrant community, with many clubs and organisations, including the GAA, ladies football, soccer club, Bruff rugby club, ladies club, Community Council, Tidy Towns and Community Alert amongst others. Landmarks of note include the beautifully restored St John’s Church and graveyard.
The Community Council has established a Community Office (knockaineycommunityoffice@gmail.com) in a restored cottage, known as the Sextons House, adjoining St. John’s Church. A community magazine is published annually, which details community life, and the office also produces a fortnightly community newsletter. Follow Knockaineycommunity Council on Facebook.
