Timoleague Friary • West Cork
The origins of the Franciscan friary at Timoleague are somewhat uncertain, but it is traditionally believed to have been founded as early as 1240 by Donal Glas McCarthy, though it may have been established on an earlier foundation.

Another painting of my great grandmother Bideach McDonagh, painted by Charles Lamb.
Bideach was from Carraroe in County Galway, and I'm really enjoying researching her history.
She had between 16-18 children
