St. Doologe's

St. Doologe's (Irish: Paróiste Dúlóg[1]), also St. Doologue's,[2] and formerly St. Tullogue's,[3] or St. Euleck's,[3] is a civil parish in the centre of Wexford town in Ireland.

[1] St. Doologe's is arguably[n 1] the smallest civil parish in Ireland; the first-edition Ordnance Survey measured its area as 3 acres, 3 roods, and 17 perches (1.561 ha); later shoreline reclamation increased this by the 1930s to 4 acres 13 perches (1.652 ha).

[6][2][7] The parish comprises the plots on both sides of King Street Lower, the entire block northwest to Sinnot Place, and a small area southwest of Main Street—Barrack Street, following the line of the old town walls.

[8][9] St. Doologe's Church was built by Norse settlers in the 11th century, and the parish was one of five within the walled town.

[3] St. Doologe's and the other parishes have remained distinct units for civil administration, though practically obsolete since the 19th century.
