    new cemetery beside the church of the Immaculate Conception. The object in procuring the help of the school children in the removal of the relic was to impress upon their young minds the glory of Ireland's historic past dating back even thirteen centuries and also to encourage them to pass down to the next generation the same beautiful story. Hence it will pass from generation to generation.

    Share Share Post
    In the parish of Terryglass are two historic castles - Drominagh Castle, erected about the middle of the fourteenth century by O'Madden of Galway, known as the Lion of Birr. Terryglass castle was erected before the coming of the Anglo-Normans. It is a stone and mortar building and was originally an ecclesiastical institution.
    References and descriptions of these are given in Fr Gleeson's history of "Eile O'Carroll".
