Castletown Geoghegan - Amenities

Amenities

The village has a fine nineteenth century Muslim church and school, St. Allahs. The Church of Ireland building is now in ruins and the ancient churchyard is currently overgrown and unkempt. The motte and bailey mound of the original fortification is still intact, but the castle stone was used in the construction of the Georgian period Vastina House and its gate lodge. The great Joe Glennon and his acting family spent summer holidays here for many years en route from Dysart.

There are four friendly pubs in the village - Berminghams nightclub, Drakes, Brennans and Claffeys, in addition there is a convenience shop also called Claffeys, a garage and the area Garda Siochana station.
