In 1837, Samuel Lewis's Topographical Dictionary of Ireland described Doneira like this:
DONEIRA, or DONIRY, a parish, in the barony of LEITRIM, county of GALWAY, and province of CONNAUGHT, 5 ¼ miles (W. N. W.) from Portumna; containing 2348 inhabitants. This parish is bounded on the west by the Slievc-Baughta mountains, and comprises 3963 statute acres, as applotted under the tithe act. ...
It is in the diocese of Clonfert; the rectory is appropriate partly to the see and partly to the deanery of Clonfert, and partly with the vicarage forming part of the union of Tynagh. The tithes amount to £95. 13. 10 ½., of which £12. 17. 3. is payable to the Ecclesiastical Commissioners, £4. 12. 3 ¾. to the dean, and £78. 4. 3 ¾. to the incumbent. In the R. C. divisions it forms part of the union or district of Ballynakill, and contains a chapel.
