Creggs

Location in County Galway, Ireland

Creggs () is a small village and townland in County Galway, Ireland. It is on the border with County Roscommon, on the R362 regional road between Glenamaddy and Roscommon town.

With a population of approximately one hundred people, the village now contains two public houses (although it used to contain seven). The village of Creggs was also once the location of a monthly fair, dancing, football and Feiseanna (music competitions).

The local rugby union club, Creggs RFC, has four playing pitches including a full-size artificial pitch. The club's grounds, known as 'the Green', is surrounded by a one kilometre community walkway.

A memorial in the village at the entrance to the rugby club commemorates the last speech by Charles Stewart Parnell, which was made here approximately two weeks before his death. The memorial was erected by Éamon de Valera in 1946, on the centenary of Parnell's birth.
