Drumreilly
Drumreilly is a civil parish in Ireland, situated partly in the baronies of Carrigallen and Dromahaire, County Leitrim and partly in the barony of Tullyhaw, County Cavan.
Etymology[edit]
The name of the parish derives from Drumreilly townland in the parish, which is an Anglicisation of the Gaelic Druim Air Belaigh meaning 'The Hill-Ridge of the Eastern Road'. The earliest surviving reference to the name is c.800 in the Martyrology of Tallaght, where it is spelled Dromma Airbelaig.[1]
History[edit]
The parish is in an area originally called Cenel Luacháin inhabited from early times by the Conmhaícne tribe. The reference above in the Martyrology of Tallaght is to a feast day on 15 January referring to the Seven bishops of Dromma Airbelaig, who probably lived in a monastery in the area in early Christian times.[2]
