ahane

Ahane is a small village in County Limerick, Ireland. It is situated in the barony of Pubblebrien, near the city of Limerick, and is located on the River Shannon. The village is part of the broader area known as the Golden Vale, which is a fertile region in the mid-southwest of Ireland.

Historically, Ahane was an important center for agriculture in the region, with many farms and dairy production. The area is still known for its rich soil and is used for dairy farming and grazing livestock. The village has a small population and is relatively isolated, with limited access to nearby towns and cities.

The 19th century saw an influx of population in the region, as reform of the Irish tenant system took place. The village's land tenure changed significantly, leading to the development of new housing and infrastructure. The local economy remained driven by agriculture, with many farmers producing and shipping dairy products and livestock via the nearby River Shannon.

In modern times, the village of Ahane remains small and rural, with the majority of the local economy related to agriculture. The area has seen some development, with new housing and infrastructure added in recent years. Despite its limited size, the village is an integral part of the surrounding region and continues to support the area's key industries.
