The A34 is a road in County Fermanagh in Northern Ireland. The route carries traffic from the A4 in Maguiresbridge (east of Enniskillen) via Lisnaskea[1] and Newtownbutler[2] (connecting with the B533 to Wattlebridge on the A3)[3][4] to Clones in County Monaghan.[4]

The route is 15.2 miles long, however the last 1.2 miles lie in the Republic of Ireland, forming part of the R183 at Clones. The R183 continues to Castleblaney.[5]

The A34 runs to the east of Upper Lough Erne. The section between Lisnaskea and Newtownbutler once formed the old coach road between Dublin and Enniskillen.[citation needed]
