Athlacca (historically Athlacka, from Irish: an tÁth Leacach, meaning 'the ford of the flagstones') is a small village in County Limerick, in the south west of Ireland. It is situated 26 km south of Limerick City, on the Morningstar river. The name Athlacca means 'ford of the flagstones', a feature that was once evident under the current St Catherine's Bridge. In the 17th century, the parishes of Dromin and Athlacca amalgamated and became one, and now the parish goes by the name Dromin/Athlacca. Athlacca is in a rural area where farming, although in decline, is still the biggest employer.

  • Is baile atá suite i gContae Luimnigh é an tÁth Leacach (Béarla: Athlacca). Tá an baile suite 20km ó dheas ó Chathair Luimnigh. Is í an fheirmeoireacht an rannóg is tábhachtaí de gheilleagar an cheantair, cé go bhfuil meath tagtha uirthi. Tá an eaglais Phrostasúnach agus an créamaraí, ach tá spuaic na heaglaise agus simléir an chréamaraí ina seasamh i gcónaí. (ga)

  • Атлакка (англ. Athlacca; ирл. An tÁth Leacach, «форд плитняка») — небольшая деревня в графстве Лимерик, на юго-западе Ирландии. Расположена в 26 км к югу от города Лимерик, на реке Морнингстар. Название Атлакка означает «брод каменных плит», особенность, которая когда-то была очевидна под нынешним мостом Святой Екатерины. В 17 веке регионы Дромин и Атлакка объединились и стали единым целым, теперь этот приход носит название Дромин/Атлакка. Атлакка находится в сельской местности, где сельское хозяйство, хотя и находится в упадке, все еще является главным способом дохода местных жителей. (ru)

  • Athlacca (historically Athlacka, from Irish: an tÁth Leacach, meaning 'the ford of the flagstones') is a small village in County Limerick, in the south west of Ireland. It is situated 26 km south of Limerick City, on the Morningstar river. The name Athlacca means 'ford of the flagstones', a feature that was once evident under the current St Catherine's Bridge. In the 17th century, the parishes of Dromin and Athlacca amalgamated and became one, and now the parish goes by the name Dromin/Athlacca. There are two pubs in the village, a national school, a playschool and Catholic church. Whilst the Catholic church remains in permanent use, the old Church of Ireland church has been demolished and all that remains is the steeple and gable wall. The parish extends from Rathcannon in the south to Crean in the north. Athlacca is in a rural area where farming, although in decline, is still the biggest employer. Athlacca parishioners have included Jim Cregan, the former European athletics champion, and PP Hogan, champion horse trainer. The local GAA club is Dromin/Athlacca the club plays hurling and Gaelic football, the club colours are blue and white. The club won the 2013 County Intermediate Hurling Championship beating Knockaderry in the final and as of 2014 were competing at the Premier Intermediate grade. The underage joined up with neighboring parish Banogue in 2008 and formed a new club 'Shamrock Gaels' while in 2016 they changed their name to 'Dromin Athlacca Banogue'. Horse racing also has a following in the area and a point-to-point meeting is held annually. The sheltered housing known as "Dawn Court" was built on the grounds of the old creamery. It was opened by the then President of Ireland, Mary McAleese. The only part of the old creamery left is the chimney staff. Separate to the developments 20 dwellings, there is a sculpture of a high chair (or Kings chair) made of green marble. On top of the chair is the scull and antlers of a red deer - in honour of the giant elk that was found in Rathcannon at the turn of the 20th century. (en)
