Dromkeen Hotels & Information

Dromkeen lies in East County Limerick in the province of Munster, Ireland, near the border of County Tipperary. The village is little more than a crossroads on the N24 Limerick- Waterford Road, halfway between Limerick City and Tipperary Town.

Dromkeen has its name assured in history due to the Dromkeen Ambush, an attack on Black and Tan police forces during the Irish War of Independence in 1921, which was carried out near the site of the old Church of Ireland church. A joint operation between the East Limerick and West Limerick Brigades of the IRA Flying Columns, the force of about 40 ambushed two lorrys carrying between them 13 Black and Tan police officers. Two of the these managed to escape, however the other 11 were killed. It was one of the larger operations carried out by the IRA during the War of Independence, the IRA had been expecting a larger police force.
