In 1837, Samuel Lewis's Topographical Dictionary of Ireland described Finglas like this:
FINGLAS, a parish, in the barony of CLONLISK, KING'S county, and province of LEINSTER, 2 ¼ miles (E. S. E.) from Moneygall, on the confines of the county of Tipperary; containing 271 inhabitants. It comprises only 664 statute acres, as applotted under the tithe act, and is a rectory, in the diocese of Killaloe, forming part of the union of Dunkerrin: the tithes amount to £50. 0. 6 ½. In the R. C. divisions it is part of the union or district of Moneygall.
