Drinagh is the name of countless townlands . . . It signifies "abounding in black thorn or sloe trees" . . . but it is not certain in this instance it may not be a corruption of Cill Draighnighe, the church of the virgin Drainecha, who was venerated at the church of the virgin Drainecha, who was venerated at the chuch of Cill Draighnighe in Idrone on the 18th of August. Nothing, however, can be gathered on the spot to prove or disprove this.
