Carrickbeg

Carrickbeg (Irish: An Charraig Bheag, meaning 'the small rock')[1] is a village in County Tipperary,[2] Ireland.

Located on the border with County Waterford, it comprises that part of the town of Carrick-on-Suir lying south of the River Suir.

Carrickbeg came to national attention in 2008 when the winning ticket for a €15 million EuroMillions jackpot was sold in the village.

Saint Francis Roman Catholic Church was built on the grounds of the former fourteenth-century Franciscan Friary.

[5] The friars served the local community until a lack of vocations led to the order finally leaving Carrickbeg in 2006.
