Welcome to Dromard.
Dromard Parish ("Lower Killoe") was once part of the larger medieval parish of Killoe and Moyne is part of the parish. It takes its name from an old Mass house built in the 1750s on Dromard. The parish of Dromard borders three counties and three provinces being located in Co. Longford it also borders parts of Leitrim in Connaught and Cavan in Ulster.
Moyne Community School is a multi-denominational co-educational school with a comprehensive range of subjects and first-class modern facilities. It is built on a large site consisting of slightly over 30 acres on Firmullagh Hill in the parish of Dromard, Co.Longford. Moyne Community school was established in 1973 through the amalgamation of the old "Latin School" Moyne and "Ballinamuck Vocational School". The building was opened to pupils on 9th September 1974. Bishop Cathal Daly in his foreword to the book "The Latin School" described Moyne Community School as the "legitimate inheritor of the Latin School". Its staff and students have inherited the name and honour of "Moyne men" and "Moyne women". They are entrusted with the perpetuation of the traditional spirit of the Latin School. The first principal of the community school was Fr Philip Magee a native of Dromard. Fr Phil died suddenly on 7th January 1975. He was succeeded by another Dromard man Mr James Mac Nerney who was principal from 1975 until his retirement in 1997. Mr Liam Faughnan a former teacher in both the Latin School and Moyne Community School took over as principal in 1997. Moyne also provides for the recreational and educational needs of up to 500 adults each year through the Adult and Community education Programme.
