Dromineer or Urra in Tipperary? We are looking for Courneens and Ryans

I know the area buy Nenagh I can see it across Lough Derg from Flesk Peak. Dromineer is marked because of the Marina but I doubt Urra is an easy find on any but specialist maps?

The heavy floods on the Shannon hit the marina badly last year as it did all points on the Lough.

I can find no Courneen's in the phone book but Ryan is a common name. You might get some luck at the Nenagh Heritage centre
