- The names of the local-roads are as follows Killaloe road, Nenagh road, Castletown road, Garrykennedy road, Ballingeer road, Castlelough road School lane or Old Garrykennedy road and Quarry line.
In the old times the road to Killaloe was through the Gap Guarry commonly known as the Gap road.
The road from Newtown to Nenagh was built in recent years as in olden times people when going to Nenagh had to go up at Gorteenakilla and out at Hogan's pass as the site of the present road was a bog which had to be drained so as to make the ground firm enough for a road.
The Killaloe road stretches from Portroe to Killaloe.
The Nenagh road stretches from Portroe to Newtown and from there to Nenagh.
