Barnaderg
Barnaderg (Irish: Bearna Dhearg, meaning 'red gap')[1][2] is a village located approximately 10 kilometres southeast of Tuam in eastern County Galway, Ireland.[3]
Barnaderg Castle was a 16th-century stronghold of the O'Kelly clan.[4][5]
A national school was built in Barnaderg in 1895.[6] A new school was opened in 1973 and the old school became Barnaderg Community Centre.[7][8] In June 2008, a €1.5m extension was opened at Barnaderg National School. In addition to the development of new classrooms, library, offices and other rooms, refurbishment of the existing building were carried out.[9] As of October 2025, Barnaderg National School has 84 pupils, 6 teachers and 4 special needs assistants.[10]
