Sean Ross Abbey south of Roscrea in County Tipperary, Ireland, is a convent and the location of St Anne's Special School run by the Sisters of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary.

It provides specialist services students four to eighteen years of age who may present with either a severe/profound general learning disability, or with autism.
