Borrisoleigh Historical Society

NEWS SPRING – SUMMER 2026

Borrisoleigh Historical Society is now taking up 2026 memberships €20. This can be forwarded to Michael Delaney or Marie Hackett.

We intend to continue our monthly series of lectures through spring until midsummer with various speakers  – new and returning- and
subjects of local and Irish interest.

There are a few events to look forward to, with the 200 year anniversary of the foundation of Ileigh Church and the 176th anniversary of the Cullohill Evictions. There is also an historical excursion planned for summer with a very interesting itinerary.

Also in the pipeline are further plans and greater expansion in all things Borrisoleigh and heritage. Last year’s series of ‘Walks and Talks’ were a resounding success and there are a few memory sticks of the recording still available.

BHS welcome new members, please do contact any of our members for information.

Admission to the lecture series is €10 (€5 members)
