Rockcorry is a
quaint and historical village in County Monaghan located close to
the border with County Cavan. It is situated on the edge of Dartrey
forest and is approximately halfway between Cootehill and Monaghan
Town. Rockcorry is a
village of handsome stone buildings and it developed as a result of
the linen industry which was founded by the Corr family. The ruin of
the old linen mill can be seen on the outskirts of the
village.

was returned to five successive parliaments.
