Story behind Augustinian Abbey in Ballina

by Anthony Hickey 7 Comments

The remains of the Augustinian Abbey in Ballina adjoin the grounds of St. Muredach’s Cathedral on the banks of the River Moy.

Lying largely in ruins, the ancient Augustinian Abbey in Ballina has never attracted the same attention as the other abbeys of the Moy, at Rosserk, Moyne and Rathfran – all of which are mostly intact. Nonetheless, Ballina’s Abbey has an interesting story to tell – stretching all the way back to a golden age in our Celtic past.
