"CARRIGALINE, a parish in the baronies of Kerricurrihy, Cork, and Kinalea, in the county of Cork, province of Munster, Ireland, to the S.E. of Cork. It is situated in a pleasant and cultivated country, on the W. side of Cork harbour, and includes the villages of Carrigaline, 7½ miles, Shombally, 8 miles, and Douglas, 2 miles from Cork. This parish was the site of a castle founded in the reign of King John by De Cogan, and held for many generations by the earls of Desmond. After its forfeiture by them, in the reign of Queen Elizabeth, and several changes of possession, the estate was sold to Sir R. Boyle, afterwards Earl of Cork. The castle was taken in 1568 by Lord-Deputy Sydney. The parish contains abundance of limestone and some clay slate. The inhabitants are chiefly engaged in the corn and provision trade, and in the fisheries. There are some extensive flour-mills. The village of Carrigaline contains a police station and a court-house, in which petty sessions are held. The living is a rectory in the diocese of Cork, Ross, and Cloyne, value £810 gross, in the patronage of E. H. Lecky, Esq. The church, erected about 1824, on the site of the former edifice, is a handsome stone structure in the perpendicular style, with a good tower and elegant spire. There are a Roman Catholic chapel, parochial and other schools, a dispensary, and a post-office where money orders are issued. The Earl of Shannon is proprietor of the village.
