BALLINLONDRY or BALLYLANDERS, a parish in the barony of COSTLEA, county of LIMERICK, and province of MUNSTER, 3 miles (N.W.) from Galbally on the road to Kilfinane; containing 2999 inhabitants, of which number 281 are in the village, which is large and of modern erection, consisting of good houses built of stone and roofed with slate; it is a constabulary police station.
The parish is the property of the Earl of Kingston. The land is generally good and is mostly under tillage, producing abundant crops: there is a considerable tract of bog, in the centre of which rises a very copious spring supplying two streams, one flowing to the north and the other to the south, and both forming a boundary between this parish and that of Ballingarry.
It is a rectory and vicarage in the diocese of Emly, and forms part of the union of Duntrileague, and the corps of the prebend of Killenellick in the cathedral of Emly: the tithes amount to £250. The old church has long since fallen into decay, and is now a picturesque and venerable ruin near the village; in the churchyard is a remarkably fine ash tree.
The Roman Catholic parish is co-extensive with that of the Established Church; the chapel a large handsome building is situated in the village.
There are three
pay-schools, in which are about 150 children; and a dispensary is supported
in the usual way.
