**Killimer** ([Irish](/source/Irish_language): *Cill Íomaí*, meaning 'church of Aodhamair')[1] is a village in [County Clare](/source/County_Clare), [Ireland](/source/Republic_of_Ireland), in a [civil parish](/source/Civil_parishes_in_Ireland) of the same name. It is located on the northern bank of the [Shannon](/source/River_Shannon) and the [N67](/source/N67_road_(Ireland)) which passes through the village.

## Location

The village is the northern port of the Killimer–[Tarbert](/source/Tarbert%2C_County_Kerry) car ferry service, operated by [Shannon Ferries](/source/Shannon_Ferry).

The village is in the [Killimer](/source/Killimer_(parish)) parish of the [Roman Catholic Diocese of Killaloe](/source/Roman_Catholic_Diocese_of_Killaloe). Parish churches are St Imy in Killimer and St Senan's in Knockerra.[2]

East of the village is the [Moneypoint](/source/Moneypoint_power_station) coal-fired electricity generating station.

## Population

According to the geographer Samuel Lewis the parish counted 3023 inhabitants in 1837.[3] The 2011 census returned 498 inhabitants for Killimer.[4]

## GAA

[Killimer GAA](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Killimer_GAA&action=edit&redlink=1) returned to competitive action at senior level in 2012. Due to a declining population Killimer had not enough players to field a senior team in the period 2008-2012. Most players had been playing with [Shannon Gaels](/source/Shannon_Gaels) or [Kilrush Shams](/source/Kilrush_GAA) in those years. Killimers only [Clare Senior Football Championship](/source/Clare_Senior_Football_Championship) triumph was in 1896.
