Tullyminister

Tullyminister, an Anglicisation of the Gaelic, ‘Tulaigh an Mhinistir’ meaning The Hill of the Parson (as the land was glebeland belonging to the Church of Ireland ministers of Templeport parish), is a townland in the civil parish of Templeport, County Cavan, Ireland.

The townland is traversed by minor public roads and rural lanes.

[2] In earlier times the townland was probably uninhabited as it consists mainly of bog and poor clay soils.

It was not seized by the English during the Plantation of Ulster in 1610 or in the Cromwellian Settlement of the 1660s so some dispossessed Irish families moved there and began to clear and farm the land.

[3] The Ordnance Survey Name Books for 1836 give the following description of the townland- It is bounded on the north side by a large mountain stream.
