Public Notice:  DONEGAL FRIARY.  Donegal Friary was founded by the
FRANCISCAN FRIARS in 1474 by the first RED HUGH O'DONNELL | and his wife
NUALA O'BRIEN.  It survived until it was plundered by the English in
1588.  Four | years later, they in turn were driven out by the second
RED HUGH (who left Ireland shortly after | the Battle of Kinsale in
1602) and the Friars repaired the buildings.  In 1601, during a siege of
| the Friary by English Forces � commanded by the renegade NIALL GARBH
O'DONNELL � gun power | stores exploded and wrecked the building.
The Friary was then granted to Sir BASIL BROOKE who used the Church for
Protestant worship | The Friars wandered from place to place after BOOKE
took over, but remained active.  Between 1632 and 1636 four scholars �
led by Brother MICHAEL O'CLEARY � compiled what has become | one of the
most important sources for the history of Ireland:  The Annals of the
Four Masters.  All the buildings were arranged around a central cloister
or courtyard, but the remains are very fragmentary.  Some of the
cloister arcade survives but very little of the church
DONEGAL � from D�nna nGall (the Fort of the Foreigners)
