Burrishoole Friary (Irish: Minister Bhuiríos Umhaill) was a Dominican friary in County Mayo, Ireland, located a few kilometers west of the town of Newport, County Mayo. Its ruin is a National Monument.
Burrishoole Friary was founded c. 1469 by Richard de Burgo of Turlough, Lord MacWilliam Oughter. It was built without the permission of Pope Paul II (term 1464-1471). In 1486, Pope Innocent VIII (term 1484-1492) instructed Uilliam Seóighe, the Archbishop of Tuam (term 1485-1501) to forgive the friars. [1]
The church and the eastern wall of the cloister remain. The grounds of the friary are an actively used cemetery.[citation needed]
The Friary is often called "Burrishoole Abbey", although this colloquial name is inaccurate because the Dominican order did not have abbots; Dominican houses are not technically abbeys.[citation needed]
