DREHIDTARSNA, or DREHEDHARSNIE, also called DROGHETARSNEY, parish, in the barony of COSHMA, county of LIMERICK, and province of MUNSTER, 2 miles (S.W. by S.) from Adare; containing 358 inhabitants.
This parish comprises 722 statute acres, as applotted under the tithe act, exclusively of the townland of Drehidtarsna, which is tithe-free; the land is of superior quality and well cultivated.
It is a rectory and vicarage, in the diocese of Limerick; the rectory is part of the union and corps of the prebend of St. Munchin in the cathedral of St. Mary, Limerick: the vicarage is in the gift of the prebendary. The tithes amount to £64.12s. 3½d., of which £43.1s.6d., is payable to the prebendary, and the remainder to the vicar, who also receives £68 late currency from Primate Boulter's fund. The glebe-house was erected in 1828, on a glebe of 19 acres. The church is a small edifice with a tower; and on Sunday evenings a lecture is delivered in the glebe-house.
In the Roman Catholic divisions it is part of the union of Adare.
The parochial
schools are chiefly supported by the vicar and the Earl of Dunraven.
