Newcastle West · Limerick
Newcastle West is the largest town in west Limerick, where commission runs at the top of the county range and comparing agents matters most.

The short answer
Newcastle West trades in the county-towns band at 1.75% to 2% plus VAT. That is the upper end of the Limerick range, and the reason given is usually a smaller buyer pool and longer selling times.
That makes the question sharper, not softer: what does the extra buy? An agent charging 2% should be able to say precisely how they will reach buyers beyond the town, because that is where a real share of them will come from.
The town has its own market rather than tracking Limerick city, so ask for comparables from Newcastle West itself.
The full picture for the county, including every fee band and how to negotiate here, is in our guide to estate agent fees in Limerick.
Town-centre property, estate housing, and a large share of one-off rural homes in the surrounding area.
Which agent suits you depends more on whether they sell this kind of property, in this area, than on the fee they quote. Ask any agent what they have sold recently in Newcastle West and who the buyers were — a real answer comes with examples.
Agents working in Newcastle West generally cover the surrounding area too: Rathkeale, Abbeyfeale, Adare, Askeaton. If your property sits between two of these, say so when you request a quote — it affects which agents are worth hearing from.
