Islandeady & Glenisland Magazine
This magazine, published in 2000, contains an
account of the events and people who have lived in and shaped the
parish over a long number of years. Ancient and more recent happenings,
and the memories of people who took part in significant events, are
captured. Great sporting and cultural highlights, traditions, folklore
cures and beliefs are also documented. It’s well worth a look!

Islandeady Parish - A Short History
The name Islandeady or Oilean Eadaigh may be derived from 13th century St Eiden who founded a church in the hillside cemetery. A church site at Annagh dates from Patrician times. Ancient churches were at Rehins, which Patrick also visited, Drimneen, Kilbree and Knockbawn in Glenisland

Community Council
We in Islandeady are very fortunate to have a magnificent voluntary organisation such as the Community council, working tirelessly on behalf of the Community. The Council began in 1976, almost thirty years ago and has gone from strength to strength

The Newly Developed Community Centre:
In 1978 a new house was built for the Parish priest of Islandeady directly opposite the Church. The local Community Council subsequently acquired the old Parochial House as its Community centre. Since then the Community Centre has proved to be a very valuable asset to the people of Islandeady as it has since been developed into a modern fully equipped meeting facility that is now used by various Groups for many different types of activities.
