*In the Catholic Directory of 1904, the edition gives Luke Glesson as parish priest of Parteen/Meelick. As Fr Glesson died in June 1902, this has to be incorrect. The corrected list of priests of Parteen/Meelick is contained in The History & Folklore of Parteen and Meelick by Dónal Ó Riain and Séamas Ó Cinnéide.

The list of Priests from 1704 to 1836 is compiled from information gained in Begley's History of the Diocese of Limerick Vol. III page 598. The remaining years are compiled from the Catholic Directories. Information contained in a directory of any given year refers to what happened the previous year, For example if a priest is recorded in the 1954 directory as being in a particular parish, this would mean that he was actually there in 1953.
