About Collooney
Collooney is a small village in south County Sligo, positioned where the N4 and N17 corridors meet the roads towards Ballygawley, Ballinacarrow and Coolaney. It has a settled, community-minded character, with a mixture of village homes, newer housing and surrounding countryside along the Owenmore River. Daily life is convenient for a rural village, with local shops, pubs and places to eat, while Sligo town is close enough for larger-scale shopping, secondary education, employment and entertainment. Collooney National School serves local families, with further primary and secondary options available in nearby Ballisodare and Sligo. The village is well placed for commuting by car, with direct access towards Sligo, Ballysadare, the N4 and the west, and Bus Éireann services operate along the main routes; nearby Sligo railway station provides rail connections to Dublin and other destinations. Local amenities include Parkes Garage, the Church Car Park and village services, while walks and outdoor activities are readily accessible in the surrounding countryside. Pubs and cafés provide informal meeting places, and the wider area offers strong sporting and community networks, including GAA and other clubs in Collooney and neighbouring villages. The setting also gives residents easy access to Sligo’s cultural and leisure attractions, as well as the Ox Mountains and coastal landscapes further west.
