St. Patrick's, or Kilquane (Irish: Cill Chuáin[1]), is a civil parish situated on both banks of the River Shannon near the city of Limerick in Ireland.
The portion in County Clare was in the barony of Bunratty Lower, and was known as the Kilquane district.
[2] The Blackwater river, which runs into the Shannon from the north, at one time powered flour mills.
The bridge at Parteen has a Latin inscription saying it was made by Peter Creagh, son of Andrew, at the expense of the city of Limerick in 1635.
[6] In 1849 Kilquane was part of the Catholic district of Parteen, which also includes the parish of Killely or Meelick.
