SHEELA NA GIG
The Fethard Connection
Up to the 9th January 1990, Fethard had four Sheela na gig in the locality, one at Watergate Street, one at the Augustinian Abbey, one at Kiltinan Church and the last at Kiltinan Castle. On that Tuesday, in January 1990, the best example of the local 'Sheelas' was stolen from Kiltinan Church and is still missing today. We have never given up hope that, some day, 'Sheela' will return home to her native Fethard. This page will show you the 'Wanted Poster' issued by Fethard Historical Society in 1990, and photographs of all the other 'Sheelas' that reside in Fethard.

Set on a dramatic outcrop of limestone in the Golden Vale, the Rock of Cashel, iconic in its historic significance, possesses the most impressive cluster of medieval buildings in Ireland. Among the monuments to be found there is a round tower, a high cross, a Romanesque chapel, a Gothic cathedral, an abbey, the Hall of the Vicars Choral and a fifteenth-century Tower House.
Originally the seat of the kings of Munster, according to legend St. Patrick himself came here to convert King Aenghus to Christianity. Brian Boru was crowned High King at Cashel in 978 and made it his capital.
In 1101 the site was granted to the church and Cashel swiftly rose to prominence as one of the most significant centres of ecclesiastical power in the country.
The surviving buildings are remarkable. Cormac’s Chapel, for example, contains the only surviving Romanesque frescoes in Ireland.
The Rock of Cashel is one of Ireland’s most spectacular and – deservedly – most visited tourist attractions.
