Cloonfad, situated where the three counties of Galway,
Mayo and Roscommon meet. It is in fact in County Roscommon. It forms part of
the parish of Kiltullagh with Granlahan and Ballinlough in the Archdioceses of Tuam. Cloonfad comes from the Irish Cluain fada meaning a long meadow or bog clearing. (Source:- Genealogy of Ireland) The village is reputed to have been built other than in the area it was intended. The more likely place is thought to have been in Lavallyroe where the national school was earmarked for construction by the bishop of the day. (Source:- Local historian) |
