Carrig (electoral division)

The Green

Carrig (Irish: An Charraig) is a settlement and electoral division in the historical barony of Ormond Lower, County Tipperary, Ireland.[1] It is located on the N52 road between Birr and Borrisokane. The early medieval Christian psalter known as the Faddan More Psalter was discovered near here in July 2006 in a peat bog.

From 2016 to 2020, Carrig was within the Dáil constituency of Offaly.[2] Since 2020, it has been part of the Tipperary.[3]
