In the village between children and grown up people, there is a population of about one hundred and thirty five. There are six shops, two of which have draperies. There are four 'bars' and a post office. All sorts of drinks are sold in the 'bars'. The village is situated on the road running from Ballinasloe to Loughrea, It is about five miles from Ballinasloe.
