History
[edit | edit source]The old parish church was abandoned after the Reformation, and fell into ruins. In the Church of Ireland, the parish has long been united to Tralee. In the Roman Catholic Church, Currans parish was united to Tralee by 1703. In 1866 the western part of Currans was included in the new Catholic parish of Baile na hEaglaise.[citation needed] As of the 21st century, the villages of Currow and Currans are included in the parish of Killeentierna within the Roman Catholic Diocese of Kerry.[3]
