Driving – Coonagh Campus

The TUS Coonagh Campus is located just off the Coonagh Roundabout on the Ennis Road (N18), making it easily accessible by car from Limerick City, Shannon, Ennis, and beyond.

  • Parking: Free parking is available on campus for both students and staff.
  • Access: The campus can be reached via the N18/M7 from Shannon, Ennis, and Galway to the west, or via the M7/N18 from Dublin.
  • Travel Time: It is approximately 10 minutes drive from Limerick City Centre.

Parking Rules & Considerations:

  • Only park in designated TUS bays.
  • Do not park in disabled spaces unless you hold a valid permit.
  • Avoid parking on double yellow lines, obstructing fire exits or hydrants, or in staff-only areas without the correct permit.

Driving Tips for Students

  • Avoid peak times: Traffic around the Coonagh Roundabout and Ennis Road can get heavy during morning and evening rush hours. Leave extra time if travelling between 8:00–9:00 am and 5:00–6:00 pm.
  • Use alternative routes: If traffic is heavy on the N18, local routes via Caherdavin or Clondrinagh can be quicker.
  • Carpool where possible: Sharing lifts with classmates helps reduce costs, eases parking pressure, and is more sustainable.
  • Plan for weather: In wet conditions, the N18 and roundabouts can become congested—allow more time for your journey.
  • Know the rules: Familiarise yourself with campus parking signage to avoid fines or clamping.
