Killererin - A Parish History

Killererin Heritage Society published their parish history in 2015.  Almost 800 pages with a wide variety of chapters, It was the culmination of 17 years of hard work by the committee.  In later years, we were fortunate to obtain the assistance of Fás and not least Marie Mannion, Heritage Officer, Galway Co. Council, who helped us to complete the project.
