== History ==
The name Islandeady or Oiléan Éadaígh is arguably derived from Saint Áedan after whom a 13th Century church, located in the hillside cemetery is named after. Islandeady townland was historically called ''Illaneedan''.〔(Placenames Database of Ireland ) (see archival records)〕 Tradition says that St.Patrick, on his way to Croagh Patrick, visited Raheens. Also it is noted that Islandeady would have belonged to the 'Patrician lands of Connacht'. The date given by historians to St.Patrick's missionary work in Islandeady is 440 A.D., where he preached on the shores of a lake in the peaceful little parish. Today the modern village lies within the townlands of Rinnaseer and Cloonan.
