Ballybricken has a shop/post office and pub. The local
GAA club, Ballybricken/Bohermore GAA Club, has its grounds in the area. A new clubhouse was officially opened in May 2008. The club's senior teams play at a Junior A level in both hurling and football. The local
national (primary) school, Caherelly National School or
Scoil Ailbhe, is situated opposite the Ballybricken Bohermore GAA grounds. While the present school building was built in 1955, an earlier school had been built nearby in the late 1830s. The ruins of Caherelly Castle are located, away from the road, between the school and Coole Cross. ==Notable people==
