The living is a rectory and vicarage, in the diocese of Cork, and in the patronage of the Bishop: the tithes amount to £127. 19. 8. Divine service is performed in a house licensed by the bishop. In the R. C. divisions it forms part of the union or, district of Upper Glanmire. Here are some remains of the church, and not far distant are the ruins of Rahinisky castle.
