Terryglass () is a village in County Tipperary, Ireland. It is on the north-eastern shore of Lough Derg, near where the River Shannon enters the lough, on the R493 road. Terryglass is also a civil parish in the historical barony of Ormond Lower, and an ecclesiastical parish in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Killaloe.
==History== In the early Middle Ages, the place was known as Tír dá glass (also Tirdaglas and Tirraglasse). A monastery (abbey) was founded there by Columba of Terryglass (d. 13 December 552) in 549. He was the son of Colum mac Crimthainn and a disciple of St. Finnian of Clonard. He was one of the Twelve Apostles of Ireland. The monastery became a centre of learning and produced (about 1160) the Book of Leinster, which is now housed in Trinity College Dublin. The Book is an important collection of history, tales and poems written in Middle Irish and is believed to be the work of Áed Ua Crimthainn, a 12th-century abbot of Terryglass.
