Kilrossanty

Kilrossanty (Irish: Cill Rosanta)[1] is a small village and civil parish in County Waterford, Ireland.

[2] It lies between the Comeragh Mountains and the R676 road between Dungarvan and Carrick-on-Suir, close to the Mahon Falls.

[1] Local leisure facilities include Kilrossanty GAA sports club, a pub in the village, and hillwalking in the Comeragh mountains.

[3] Comeragh House, a landed mansion outside the village, was the home of 19th-century explorer John Palliser,[4] and between 1964 and 1979 was lived in by Dutch art collector Pieter Menten, until he was arrested in the Netherlands and convicted of being a World War 2 war criminal.

On his release from prison in 1985, he planned to return to Comeragh House, but was banned by the government from entering Ireland.
