The R509 road, following part of the Childers Road (named after Erskine Childers), is a regional road in Ireland, running through the southeastern side of Limerick City. It forms what is somewhat akin to an inner ring road (albeit mostly two-lane only).
The Childers Road was built in several stages to connect various suburbs on that side of the city (it was not originally envisaged as a ring road route). The first section linked the then N20/N21 Ballinacurra Road (from the city centre to Raheen and onwards to Cork/Kerry) to the Greenfields Road, Janesboro and onward to the Roxboro Road/Fedamore Road (R511). The N20/N21 now commences just prior to the Roxboro Roundabout.
The next stage of the road continues on to link with the Old Cork Road (R512). Here it passes under the Limerick–Limerick Junction railway line. The road continues round to the Tipperary Road (N24), meeting at the Tipperary roundabout.
