Errigal-Truagh has three defining characteristics: its geographical isolation as an awkward triangle sticking up into Northern Ireland from the South; its legacy of deep religious divisions left over from the 17 th century plantation of Monaghan and Tyrone, exacerbated by nearly 30 years of violence along the border, which in this parish was nominally spanned by 9 border crossings, eight of them closed by the British Army during the conflict; and the peripherality and poverty of a remote rural area largely forgotten by a faraway Dublin government.
