L'abbaye de Timoleague a été fondée par l'ordre franciscain en 1240. Elle a été construite sur les fondations d'un monastère fondé par Saint Molaga au 6ème siècle, agrandie par Donal Glas McCarthy en 1312, et par les patrons irlandais et normands en XVIème siècle. Les moines ont été dispersés par la Réforme, mais y sont retournés en 1604. En 1612 l'abbaye a été sacagée par les soldats anglais qui ont également brisé tous les vitraux. Les moines sont restés dans l'abbaye jusqu'en 1629. Timoleague abbey was founded by the franciscan order in 1240 A.D.
