You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.174.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:35, 2 May 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Shannon''' (((Irish place name|Sionainn))) or '''Shannon Town''' (((lang|ga|Baile na Sionnainne))), named after the [[River Shannon|river]] near which it stands, is a town in [[County Clare]], [[Republic of Ireland|Ireland]]. It was given town status on 1 January 1982. The town is located just off the [[N19 road (Ireland)|N19 road]], a spur of the [[N18 road (Ireland)|N18/M18 road]] between [[Limerick]] and [[Ennis]]. It is the location of [[Shannon Airport]], an international airport serving the Clare/Limerick region in the west of Ireland.

It has a population of 10,256 as per the [[2022 census of Ireland|2022 census]], the second largest town in the county.<ref name="cso2022"/>

==History==
Shannon is a [[Planned community|new town]]. Spearheaded by [[Brendan O'Regan]],<ref>((cite news| url=http://www.irishtimes.com/business/tributes-paid-to-clare-man-who-pioneered-duty-free-at-shannon-1.890624| work=[[Irish Times]]| title=Tributes paid to Clare man who pioneered duty free at Shannon| date=4 February 2008))</ref> it was built in the 1960s on reclaimed [[marsh]]land alongside [[Shannon Airport]], along with the Shannon Free Zone [[Industrial park]].<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.shannon.ie/com_ourtown.html|title=Shannon - Our Town|publisher=Shannon.ie|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120722164407/http://www.shannon.ie/com_ourtown.html|archive-date=22 July 2012|access-date=24 July 2010))</ref> The residential areas were intended as a home for the thousands of workers at the airport, surrounding industries and support services. Population growth was never as fast as planned throughout the first few decades of the town's existence. This was partly due to the proximity of 'friendly' places to live, such as [[Ennis]] town and [[Limerick]] city, or even the nearby village of [[Newmarket-on-Fergus]].

The 'planned' nature of this town did not necessarily result in a successful town. It was lacking in facilities, and the town's [[shopping centre]] was also of poor design. Shops fronted onto [[Pedestrian zone|pedestrian mall]]s that were originally uncovered, allowing estuary winds and rain to strike at shoppers. The early low-cost housing (tower-block [[apartment|flat]]s located in [[Drumgeely]], near the airport) was poor-quality [[Terraced house|terraced housing]].

Shannon was originally located in the parish of [[Newmarket-on-Fergus (Roman Catholic parish)|Newmarket-on-Fergus]] in the [[Roman Catholic Diocese of Killaloe]], and at first a priest in residence of the airport served the population. In 1966 [[Senán mac Geirrcinn#Legacy|St. Senan's School]] was opened and Mary Immaculate Church was built on Corrib Drive. On 24 December 1967 the [[Shannon (parish)|parish of Shannon]] was created. For a short period a group of Dominican Sisters of England had a community in the parish. In 1974 they were replaced by the [[Sisters of Mercy]]. The church of Saints John and Paul was opened in Tullyvarraga in 1980.<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.killaloediocese.ie/parish/shannon/ |title=Shannon |access-date=1 April 2014|publisher=Diocese of Killaloe))</ref> 
Other churches are the Adoration Chapel in Shannon Town Centre and the Shannon Airport Oratory.<ref>((cite web |url=http://www.killaloediocese.ie/parish/shannon/church.html |title=Shannon Churches |access-date=1 April 2014 |publisher=Diocese of Killaloe |archive-date=7 April 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140407081705/http://www.killaloediocese.ie/parish/shannon/church.html |url-status=dead ))</ref>
The Church of Ireland community is served by the Drumcliffe Union and the Methodist community is served by a lay pastor. Shannon is also home of Christian evangelical churches, Shannon Christian Church and New Life Christian Church.((citation needed|date=July 2021))

[[St. John's National School|St. John's Church of Ireland School]] was the first school established in Shannon in 1962. Christ Church Shannon opened in 1962, also serving members of the reformed faiths,  but it is now closed.

Shannon was the manufacturing base of [[GAC Ireland]], which built almost all buses for [[CIÉ]] during its short existence between 1980 and 1986.

==Development==
The population grew in the 1990s, and new modern housing developments were built. Improvements to facilities in the town included the opening of a second major [[supermarket]], [[Lidl]],<ref>((Cite web|url=https://skycourtshannon.com/store/lidl/|title = LIDL))</ref> with the shopping centre being expanded by the addition of the "Skycourt" complex.((Citation needed|date=October 2019))

The main road through Shannon was remodelled following the opening of the bypass of [[Newmarket-on-Fergus]]. New units continued to open in the industrial estates.((Citation needed|date=October 2019))

== Education ==
[[File:Shannon College of Hotel Management.jpg|thumb|Shannon College of Hotel Management]]
Shannon town has six primary schools: St. Tola's, St John's, St Senan's, Gaelscoil Donnacha Rua, St. Conaire's (largest primary school) and St. Aidan's, including a Gaelscoil (Gaelscoil Donncha Rua)<ref>((Cite web|url=http://www.gdr.ie/|title=Gaelscoil Donncha Rua, Shannon, Co. Clare|website=www.gdr.ie|access-date=9 June 2016))</ref> and a school under the patronage of Church of Ireland (St. Johns NS<ref>((Cite web|url=http://www.stjohnsns.org/|title=St. John's National School, Shannon|website=www.stjohnsns.org|access-date=9 June 2016))</ref>).

There are two second-level education institutes in the town, [[St. Patrick's Comprehensive School]] and [[St. Caimin's Community School]]. St. Patrick's Comprehensive School opened in 1966 as Ireland's first comprehensive school. It has been serving the town since and is due an extension to increase its capacity to over 900 pupils.((citation needed|date=January 2021))

There is one third level institution in Shannon: the [[Shannon College of Hotel Management]], which opened in 1951. Since 2015 it has been an official college of the [[NUI Galway|National University of Ireland, Galway]].

==Economy==
<!-- Wikipedia is not the Yellow Pages. There is no need to name every company in the Shannon Free Zone! -->[[Shannon Free Zone]] is Ireland's largest cluster of North American investments. Since its establishment in 1959, more than 110 overseas companies have chosen to open subsidiaries in Shannon.

==Local government and politics==
The town is administered at a local level by [[Clare County Council]].

In addition, prior to September 2004, [[Shannon Development]], a [[state-sponsored bodies of the Republic of Ireland|state-sponsored body]] had charge of many services normally provided by local authorities in [[Republic of Ireland|Ireland]]. This gave Shannon a unique status in local governance. In September 2004 its situation was regularised when Shannon Development transferred its local government functions to [[Clare County Council]].<ref>((Cite web |url=http://www.shannondevelopment.ie/NewsReleases/Documents/filename,2304,en.pdf |title=Archived copy |access-date=16 October 2007 |archive-date=29 November 2007 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071129231244/http://www.shannondevelopment.ie/NewsReleases/Documents/filename,2304,en.pdf |url-status=dead ))</ref> The company retains responsibility for the [[Shannon Free Zone]].
