Quin Abbey Could Be Ireland's Carcassonne
Published 5 days, 4 hours ago
Description
Rising dramatically over the village of Quin, the 15th-century Franciscan friary is one of the most atmospheric medieval sites in the country.

To explore this further, Alan Morrissey was joined by Garry Miley, Ogonnelloe-based architect on Tuesday's Morning focus.
