His death occurred in the hour of his greatest triumph, the defeat of a major Viking force at the Battle of Clontarf near Dublin. e Brian Boru heritage centre at the tourist office tells his story. From early Christian times Killaloe Ballina was an important monastic settlement and from the 12th century a cathedral and ecclesiastical centre. In fact the Killaloe Diocese is named after the village. During the 18th and 19th centuries, the two villages evolved on either bank of the River Shannon. e opening of the railway and canal with Limerick ushered in a prosperous period and river navigation became a primary function of the twin settlements. Today Killaloe Ballina are amongst Ireland’s most picturesque villages and serve as a gateway to the River Shannon and Lough Derg — the Shannon’s Pleasure Lake.
