Road name (Parkmore? Ballybrit Cresent?)

Mrs OBumble

There is a road which runs between Tuam Rd and the roundabout that's close to Western Motors. It's marked on this map

I was sure that someone told me that this road is called "Parkmore". And I know that some businesses on it have addresses like:

"Unit X, Galway Technology Park, Parkmore, Galway"

Google-maps shows the road-name as "Ballybrit Cresent" (the same as the road that goes from this one down to the race-course). And it shows another road, further down the Tuam Rd, as "An Paric Mor". However Google-maps isn't always right.

Neither "Parkmore" nor "Ballybrit Cresent" is listed on Galway City's on-line gazetted street-names system. But this makes sense, because I understand that the area is actually outside the city boundary. And Galway County Council's on-line maps don't include street-names.

Can anyone shed any light on the actual name of this road? (and others in the area, for that matter)

A lot of roads in that area don't actually have official names.

I know all about it - I live on one of them. Ordering anything via courier or getting pizza is just about impossible.

Ballybrit crescent refers only to the crescent of houses opposite the racecourse entrance I think.

If you call the main road the Parkmore road, people understand. Dunno official name though.

Parkmore is the name of the townland - in the absence of an official name I would default to that.

The road is the boundary between the city and county - except for the crescent which is in the city.
