Croagh (Irish: Cróch) is a picturesque small village in County Limerick, Ireland. It is located between Rathkeale and Adare just off the N21 national primary road, 22km (14 miles) south west of Limerick City. The village was originally part of this route before construction of the Croagh by-pass in 1986. "Croagh" derived its name either from the Irish word cruach, which is a hill or mountain, or cróch, which is the Irish for "saffron".
