Screeb

Screeb () is a small village in south-west Connemara, County Galway, Ireland. It is located on the R336 regional road, north of Casla and southwest of Oughterard. It was the location of one of Ireland's few peat-burning power stations. This was uneconomic but a source of employment locally at the time.
