Kilshannig Parish Established
<p>This parish was one of the earliest established in County Cork following the decision taken at the 1111 Synod of Clonbrassil where the parish system was approved to replace the monastic governance that was in vogue up until then. This change met with much resistence and it took the Normans arrival in 1169 to effect change.</p>
