About Athlone
Athlone is a major town straddling the border between County Roscommon and County Westmeath. It sits on the River Shannon near the southern shore of Lough Ree, around 100 km west of Dublin and near the geographical centre of Ireland.
According to the 2022 census, Athlone has a population of 22,869, making it the second most populous town in the Midlands Region. Most of the town lies on the east bank of the Shannon, within County Westmeath, though several west bank townlands were incorporated into the town under the Local Government Act of 1898.
The town’s Irish name, Baile Átha Luain, translates to “the town of Luan’s ford,” reflecting its historical role as a key crossing point of the Shannon. Today, Athlone blends history, commerce, and connectivity at the heart of the country.
