Kilconickny is a civil parish in County Galway, Connaught, Ireland.

[2] The adjoining parishes are Bullaun, Kilchreest, Killeenadeema, Killogilleen, Kiltullagh, Lickerrig and Loughrea.

[3] Nicholas Carlisle in the 1810 Topographical Dictionary of Ireland described the parish as: KILCONICKNY, in the Barony of Loughrea, Co. of Galway, and Province of Connaught: a V., Episcopally united, about the year 1735, to the Vicarages of Kilconiran, Kiltullagh, and Lickerigg: no Church ; Divine Service being performed in Mr. Daly's House of Dunsandel: but a church is about to be built, as soon as Mr. Daly, and other Gentlemen who are willing to contribute, have agreed upon the most convenient site : no Glebe House: a Glebe, of 5 acres, in the parish of Lickerigg, and, of 2 1/2 acres, in the parish of Kilconiran; The Rev.

Alexander Macauley, the Incumbent (in 1806), who has cure of souls, in all parts, is resident, and discharges the duties.

According to Lewis's Topographical Dictionary of Ireland, 1837, The principal seats are St. Cleran's, the residence of J. H. Burke, Esq., and Dunsandall, of J. Daly, Esq.

The living is a vicarage, in the diocese of Clonfert, episcopally united to the vicarages of Lickerrig, Kiltullagh, and Kilconeran, and in the patronage of the Bishop; the rectory is appropriate to the bishoprick, the deanery, the prebend of Killaspicmoylan, the rectory of Loughrea, and the vicars choral of Christ Church, Dublin.

It was a microcredit plan that provided small loans to the "industrious poor" in the parishes of Kilconierin, Lickerrig, and Kilconickny between 1838 and 1846.

Many of the loans in Kilconickny parish went into default during the Great Famine of 1845 to 1849, mostly due to death (38%), emigration (21%) or poverty (19%).

The Anglican Kilconickny union was formed in 1735 when the vicarages of Kilconiran, Kiltullagh and Lickerigg were united.

There were three ecclesiastical parishes in the Middle Ages; Kilconickny (now Clostoken), Kilconieran and Lickerrig (now Carrabane).
