Ederney

Ederney (from Irish Eadarnaidh, meaning 'middle place/place between')[1] is a village situated primarily in the townlands of Drumkeen[2] and of Ederny[3] in County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland.

Ulsterbus route 194 serves Ederney with one daily journey in each direction except Sundays, linking it to Irvinestown, Enniskillen and Pettigo.

[6] Local historian Leo Mulligan, MBE, details that at the time of the Plantation of Ulster there was a settlement of significance at Ederny, when the land grant (titled "Edernagh") was given to Captain Thomas Blennerhassett of Norfolk in 1610.

He created the Manor of Edernagh on a 450 acres (1.8 km2) demesne and a court baron on the shores of Lough Erne, which he later named Castle Hassett.

According to the 2021 census, Ederney had the highest proportion of residents who spoke Irish daily in County Fermanagh with 3.99%, which was higher than the average across Northern Ireland (of 2.43%).
