Is this the correct way to address a letter to that person aside from Galway and Ireland? === Sounds fine to me. Although there are over a dozen Newtowns in Galway, the Newtown(s) you want are as close as a half-mile west of Gort town. There is a civil parish line cutting through Newtown, so they are listed as separate townlands - but I'm sure the postman will know which one is the correct one.
