Rooskey - is a village on the River Shannon in County Roscommon.
This friendly, picturesque village is situated near the point where

Roosky is a well known tourist destination. Situated in the heart of
Ireland's Lakeland district Rooskey is the focal point of the
midlands fishing region and is a popular stopping point for
cruiser traffic. The River Shannon and the nearby loughs are
well stocked with coarse fish including roach, perch and bream. The
harbour and marina in Rooskey are especially busy in the
summer, with cruise vessels regularly stopping by. Outdoor
activities enjoyed locally include watersports, horse-riding,
pony-trekking and walking.
The Black Pig’s Dyke is the name of the boundary of ancient
Ulster which began near Rooskey and stretched across Ireland to the
Irish Sea near Dundalk. In pre-Christian times three provinces met
at Rooskey - Ulster, north Leinster (Meath) and Connacht. |
