Kilconierin Folklore
<p>Continuing our series on the sources of information available to local history researchers, in this newsletter we are highlighting the information which can be garnered from the local folklore commission (including the Schools’ Collection available at <a href="http://duchas.ie/en/cbes/GA">http://duchas.ie/en/cbes/GA</a>) and the considerations when utilising same. Here, we use the folklore of modern Kilconierin - the civil parishes of Kilconierin, Lickerrig (Carrabane) and Kilconickny (Clostoken) in the archive of the Department of Irish Folklore as the study area.</p>
