R. C. Diocese Of Cashel & Emly, 1836
Content: All spellings are as on original document. There are possibly some errors such as Wm. Quirke being listed as a curate in two parishes
This pages differs from my 1836 R.C. parish listing in a number of ways. I have not tried to list the counties that the closest post town is found in and I have not tried to compare this listing either with the 1836 listing or the 1931 listing.
I have however, included extra information on the Diocese as found in the 1846 Roman Catholic Directory on convents and nunneries or academies if mentioned - or, as it is put in the directory - \'The State of Religion\'

This college forms two separate departments, the one for Ecclesiastics, the other for Catholic youth, destined for other liberal professions and secular pursuits. The studies in the Ecclesiastical house embrace Scripture, Theology, Moral, Natural and Experimental Phiolosophy, Rhetoric, Ancient and Modern languages and History. The course in the lay-house will include the usual branches of a Classical, Mathematical and Mercantile education, after which the more advanced pupils ca, at the desire of parents, and guardians, pass two years more in the school of Rhetoric and Philosophy, thereby enjoying all the advantages, without the sacrifice of time and expense attendant upon a University education. The moral discipline is such as to impress on the mind the saving truths of the Catholic religion, and to promote habits of piety, order and industry. The terms are moderate and are known by application to the said Rev. President, or Professors of this College.
