Tuamgraney (Irish: Tuaim Gréine, meaning "Tomb of Gráinne") is a village in eastern County Clare in the west of Ireland. Situated on the River Graney which flows into Lough Derg, it is an ancient settlement, noted for St Cronin's church, said to be the oldest church in constant use in Ireland.
The village lies in such close proximity to the town of Scarriff that today the two are often considered to be one single settlement.[1] The well known novelist Edna O'Brien was born in Tuamgraney in 1930. The village is also home to the Republic of Ireland's only chipboard factory.
