KILLALOE

This article appears in Volume V15, Page 795 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: KHA-KRI
KILLALOE , a town of county Clare, Ireland, in the
east
  parliamentary division, at the lower extremity of Lough Derg on the river Shannon, at the Not of the Slieve Bernagh mountains. Pop. (19o1), 885. It is connected, so as to form one town, with
Ballina
  (county Tipperary) by a
bridge
  of 13
arches
 .
Ballina
  is the terminus of a branch of the
Great
  Southern and Western railway, 15 M. N.E. of Limerick. Slate is quarried in the vicinity, and there were formerly woollen manufactures. The
cathedral
  of St Flannan occupies the site of a
church
  founded by St Dalua in the 6th century. The present building is mainly of the 12th century, a good cruciform example of the period, preserving, however, a magnificent Romanesque doorway. It was probably completed by Donall O'Brien, king of Munster, but part of the fabric
dates
  from a century before his time. In the churchyard is an ancient oratory said to date from the period of St Dalua. Near Killaloe stood Brian Boru's palace of Kincora, celebrated in verse by Moore; for this was the
capital
  of the kings of Munster. Killaloe is frequented by anglers for the Shannon salmon-fishing and for trout-fishing in Lough Derg. Killaloe gives name to
Protestant
  and Roman Catholic dioceses.
