1837
a parish, and the seat of a diocese, in the barony of Clanwilliam, county of
Tipperary, and province of Munster, 7 miles S.W. from Tipperary, and 15 W. from
Cashel, on the confines of the county of Limerick; containing 3838 inhabitants,
of which number, 701 are in the village. This place, noticed under the name of
"Imlagh," by Ptolemy, as one of the three principal towns of Ireland,
is of very remote antiquity, and was formerly an important city and the seat of
a diocese. A monastery of canons regular was founded here by St. Ailbe, or
Alibeus, who became its first abbot, and dying in 527, was interred in the
abbey. His successors obtained many privileges for the inhabitants. The abbey
and town were frequently pillaged and burnt. King John, in the 17th of his
reign, granted the privilege of holding markets and fairs in the town, which,
since the union of the see of Emly with that of Cashel in 1568, has gradually
declined, and is now comparatively an insignificant village, containing only 115
houses. It has a constabulary police station, and fairs are held on May 21st and
Sept. 22nd.
Among the successors of St. Ailbe in the See of Emly, previously to the landing of the English, and who were styled indifferently abbots or bishops, were several who exercised sovereign power at Cashel, as Kings of Munster. Olchobhair Mac Cionoatha, who in 847 succeeded to the prelacy, and to throne of Munster, aided by Lorcan, son of the King of Leinster, killed 1200 of the Danes who had plundered the monastery during the preceding year; and 1700 were slain in a subsequent battle, in which Olchobhair was killed. In 1123, during the prelacy of Moelmorda, the abbey was plundered and the mitre of St. Ailbe, which had been preserved for many ages, was burnt. Bishop Christian, who succeeded to the prelacy in 1236, was a great benefactor to the cathedral church, in which Bishop Henley, who died in 1542, erected a college of secular priests. The last bishop of this see, prior to its union with that of Cashel, to which the archbishoprick had been previously transferred, was Reymund de Burgh, after whose death, in 1562, it remained vacant till 1568, when it was united by act of parliament to the archbishoprick of Cashel, during the prelacy of Archbishop Mac Caghwell. The diocese is one of the eleven that constitute the archdiocese, or ecclesiastical province, of Cashel: it comprises an estimated superficies of 138,050 statute acres, of which 86,150 are in the county of Limerick, and 51,900 in that of Tipperary. The chapter consists of a dean, precentor, chancellor, archdeacon, treasurer, and the four prebendaries of Dollardstown Killenellick, Doon, and lattin. It comprehends 17 benefices, of which nine are unions of two or more parishes, and eight are single parishes; of these, four are in the patronage of the crown, and 13 in that of the archbishop of Cashel. The total number of parishes is 44, of which 39 are rectories and vicarages, three perpetual curacies, and two without provision for the cure of souls; there are eleven churches and four other places in which divine service is performed, and nine glebe-houses. In the R.C. divisions the diocese is united with the archdiocese of Cashel, and contains 31 chapels -See Cashel.
The living is a vicarage, in the diocese of Emly, and in the patronage of the archbishop of Cashel; the rectory is appropriate to the economy fund of the cathedral of Emly. The tithes amount to 450, of which 300 is payable as rectorial tithes, and the remainder to the vicar. the glebe-house is a neat building, and the glebe comprises 10 acres. The cathedral, which serves also as the parish church, is a handsome structure of hewn stone, in the later English style,with a lofty spire, erected in 1827, at an expense of 2521.11.9, defrayed from a surplus of the economy fund, which had been for several years accumulating for that purpose. The R.C. parish is co-extensive with that of the Established Church, and contains a chapel. there are two private schools, in which are about 80 children. In the church-yard is a large cross of rough stone, also a well, called St. Ailbe's well, which are held in veneration by the peasantry, who assemble here on the 12th of September, the anniversary of that saint's death. A very ancient canoe, resembling those of the south sea islanders, was dug up some time since near the village; and very rich armlets of gold, and brass swords have also been found in the adjacent bogs.

Population 348 in 1881 Emly in the parish of same name, barony of Clanwilliam,
is 7 miles, Irish, west of Tipperary, by road, and 9 1/2 miles, English, by
rail, via Limerick Junction. The railway station is one mile, English, from the
village. It is a good butter-making county. In 1888 a weekly market on
Wednesday, was established, and is usually well supplied with butter. There are
also good fairs held here. For dates see index. Several of the tenants of the
neighborhood have become owners under Lord Ashbourne's Act. A handsome Catholic
church, the building of which was begun in 1880, is one of the features. Down to
1889 about L12,000 had been expended upon it.
The original name of the parish was Imleac, signifying land verging on a lake. A
lake of about 200 acres existed here until 1718. It was drained by Robert
Ryves,
tenant of Archbishop Palliser. Ancient Emly was an important place and the seat
of a diocese. The cathedral occupied an elevated spot on the verge of the lake,
but there are no remains of it. Union of the see with that of Cashel was
effected in 1568. St. Ailbe founded an abbey for canons regular at Emly in the
fifth century. Some of the bishops of Emly before the English connection, became
Archbishops of Cashel and Kings of Munster, when the dignities were united.
Beginning in 846 the Danes frequently plundered Emly and its abbey. In 847
Olchobhair King of Munster, aided by forces headed by the son of the King of
Leinster, killed 1,200 Danes, who had participated in the plunder of the abbey
at Emly in 846.
