The nearby Round Tower - 95 feet high - and the richness of the carvings on the 13th century "Cathedral" are unusual. Sir Walter Raleigh leased these buildings in 1591 for a short period. Ardmore is a recent winner of the proud title - Ireland's Tidiest Town. Dungarvan The Augustinian Abbey, Abbeyside. Originally build, circa 1290, by a group from Clare Priory in Suffolk.

Priests of the Parish The village of Killeedy is about four miles south of the town of Newcastlewest. Originally Killeedy was called which means "the meadow with a good depth of soil". The parish of Killeedy is closely associated with the life and work of St Ita. It was renamed meaning the Church of Ita after the saint. St Ita founded her monastery here in 546. Killeedy was destroyed by invading Norsemen in 845. It was attacked again in 1302. In 1704 the parish of Killeedy was known as Killeedy and Killagholehane. Fr Thady Daly was the parish priest. Tournafulla also formed part of this parish. Following Fr Daly's death, the exact date of which is unknown, Killagholehane separated from Killeedy, and joined with the parish of Dromcollogher. Killeedy parish was further divided in 1838 following the death of Fr Edmund O'Halloran P.P. when Tournafulla became a separate parish.

The Life of St. Declan of Ardmore or "Betha Decclain" by Rev. P. Power Terms Contents INTRODUCTION CHAPTER I ... TRANSCRIBER'S NOTE INTRODUCTION f thou hast the right, O Erin, to a champion of battle to aid thee thou hast the head of a hundred thousand, Declan of Ardmore (Martyrology of Oengus). Possibly the best way to present the question of Declan's age is to put in tabulated form the arguments of the pre-Patrician advocates against the counter contentions of those who claim that Declan's period is later than Patrick's: For the Pre-Patrician Mission. Against Theory of Early Fifth Century period. In this matter and at this hour it is hardly worth appealing to the authority of Lanigan and the scholars of the past. Much evidence not available in Lanigan's day is now at the service of scholars. We are to look rather at the reasoning of Colgan, Ussher, and Lanigan than to the mere weight of their names. Referring in order to our tabulated grounds of argument, pro and con, and taking the pro arguments first, we may (I.) discard as evidence for our purpose the Life of St. Ibar which is very fragmentary and otherwise a rather unsatisfactory document. The Lives of Ailbhe, Ciaran, and Declan are however mutually corroborative and consistent. The Roman visit and the alleged tutelage under Hilarius are probably embellishments; they look like inventions to explain something and they may contain more than a kernel of truth. At any rate they are matters requiring further investigation and elucidation. In this connection it may be useful to recall that the Life (Latin) of St. Ciaran has been attributed by Colgan to Evinus the disciple and panegyrist of St. Patrick.

The Life of St. Declan of Ardmore or "Betha Decclain" by Rev. P. Power Terms Contents INTRODUCTION CHAPTER I ... TRANSCRIBER'S NOTE CHAPTER I On the completion of seven years Declan was taken from his parents and friends and fosterers to be sent to study as Colman had ordained. It was to Dioma they sent him, a certain devout man perfect in the faith, who had come at that time by God's design into Ireland having spent a long period abroad in acquiring learning. He (Dioma) built in that place a small cell wherein he might instruct Declan and dwell himself. There was given him also, to instruct, together with Declan, another child, scil., Cairbre Mac Colmain, who became afterwards a holy learned bishop. Both these were for a considerable period pursuing their studies together. There were seven men dwelling in Magh Sgiath, who frequently saw the fiery globe which it has been already told they first beheld at the time of Declan's birth. It happened by the Grace of God that they were the first persons to reveal and describe that lightning. These seven came to the place where Declan abode and took him for their director and master. They made known publicly in the presence of all that, later on, he should be a bishop and they spoke prophetically:"The day, O beloved child and servant of God, will come when we shall commit ourselves and our lands to thee." And it fell out thus (as they foretold), for, upon believing, they were baptised and became wise, devout (and) attentive and erected seven churches in honour of God around Magh Sgiath.
