KILLIMORE-DALY. a parish, partly in the barony of ATHENRY, partly in that of TYAQUIN, but chiefly in that of KILCONNELL, county of GALWAY, and province of CONNAUGHT, 4 ½ miles (E.), from Athenry, on the road from that place to Kilconnell; containing 1945 inhabitants, and 6181 statute acres. ...

The principal seats are Killimor Castle, formerly the seat of the Daly family, but now the residence of Hyacinth Burke, Esq.; Cloncah, of P. Daly, Esq.; and Anne Ville, of the Rev. J. Seymore. It is a vicarage, in the diocese of Clonfert, forming part of the union of Aughrim; the rectory is appropriate to the see and deanery of Clonfert, and to the vicarage. The tithes amount to £108. 18. 5 ¼., of which £20. 6. 1 ¾. is payable to the Ecclesiastical Commissioners, £14. 15. 4 ½. to the dean, and £73. 16. 11. to the vicar. In the R. C. divisions it forms part of the district of Kiltullagh, and has a chapel. About 120 children are educated in two private schools.
