In 1824, Laurence Keegan paid the Tithe Applotments (A tax to support the Protestant Church of Ireland). He paid enough to cover 477 acres in the townland of Tiernascragh (a sub-part of the the Parish of Tiernascragh). It is not clear if he owned all this land at this time - which would have covered much of the Shannon Callows within the Parish.
Our aim is to connect all people with a link to Tiernascragh (Galway). You may live here, have visited here or maybe are tracing ancestors who left long ago. In any case, we’re sure to have lots to share and are delighted to welcome you.
