	Portumna Castle
		Portumna Priory was a Cistercian chapel attached to the monastery of Dunbrody, Co Wexford.
		Portumna Castle, built near the shore of the northern extremity of Lough Derg on the river Shannon in the reign of James I, was without equal in Ireland at the time in style, grandeur and distinction - outshining castles at Rathfarnham, Kanturk, Carrickfergus, Charlemont and Burncourt.
		The Portumna estate was acquired by the Irish Government in 1948, with the castle being allocated to the then Office of Public Works, the 1500 acre demesne to the Forestry Commission and land being given for a Golf Course and a GAA pitch.

	IWAI - Waterway Heritage - Portumna Castle - Tim O'Brien
		Portumna, on the border of Tipperary and Galway, lies where the Shannon river meets Lough Derg.
		Portumna Castle was built in 1616 by Richard Clanricarde, then governor of Galway, who spent the then enormous sum of £10,000 building the semi-fortified house to replace the family's earlier castle at Loughrea and to consolidate his claim to the medieval de Burgo lordship of Connaught.
		Today Portumna Castle has been brought back from ruin with the addition of a new roof, the rebuilding of much of the inner double supporting walls, and refurbishment of the carved stone windows.

		Canning, who scored 2-16 in Portumna's run through to the decider, was very much a marked man. Yet he still found enough space in the third-minute to blaze through and smash a rising shot to the Newtown net.
		On eight minutes, the Portumna faithful were toasting their side's second goal when Canning scooped up a loose ball near the square and he flicked a one-handed stick pass into the unmarked Niall Healy who batted home.
		Portumna shifted wily Galway defender Ollie Canning over to mark Naughton and it had the desired effect until the 21st-minute when a Naughton pass set midfielder Jerry O'Connor, Ben's twin brother, on his way for a neatly-taken goal.
