    Yes but if according to the map that black lily put up, Monksland is in Westmeath. Which wouldn't be considered part of the town.

    The 1898 Act brought in the Western part of the town as it then was into Westmeath. There has been no change in the boundary since. It runs roughly along a line from Golden Island to a point just west of St. Comans Park and back to the Jolly Mariner. The Monkstown Industrial Estate and surrounding area is in Roscommon.

    Handiest was to remember it is everything up to Shine's Pub is Baylough is in Westmeath, after that it's Roscommon. So those lights at Talbot Avenue are firmly in Westmeath.
