HISTORY


Much of following material on the history of Inishmagrath is based on the work of the late Peter Clancy NT, as published by Maura Clancy in her book

"Ballinaglera and Inishmagrath:
The History and Traditions of two Leitrim Parishes.
"

We are grateful to Maura for her kind permission to make use of this material.
