Tain Bo Cuailgne, CU Chulainn, Fionn Mac Cumhail - chomh maith Ie re na Criostaiochta.

There are about 60,000 in and about 200 of them in South .

The townlands are an historical source that encompasses the mythology of Ireland - the Cattle Raid of Cooley, CU Chulainn, Fionn Mac Cumhail - as well as the early Christian period. But above all else they are the repository of the which was spoken widely by the people up to the 1920's in areas like Dromimee, Killeavy and Mullaghbane.

I hope people enjoy this booklet, whether learners of the language or those interested in the history of the area, and that it might help in the understanding and in the preserva- tion of our heritage.
