“Tulla was named among the parishes in the diocese of Killaloe in 1302.”
Tulla was named among the parishes in the diocese of Killaloe in 1302.In 1314 Murchad O'Brien laid waste Clan Cuilean loctrac (lower) - the territory of the Macnamaras because they had sided with his opponent Diarmuid O'Brien, and broke into and despoiled the church of Tulla.
