Burrishoole Friary

Burrishoole Friary 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 by Richard de Burgo of Turlough, Lord MacWilliam Oughter. It was built without the permission of Pope Paul II. In 1486, Pope Innocent VIII instructed Uilliam Seóighe, the Archbishop of Tuam to forgive the friars.
The church and the eastern wall of the cloister remain. The grounds of the friary are an actively used cemetery.
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.
