VI. And whereas the several parishes of Inistar, Mathy, Garrycloyne, and Granagh, in the diocess of Cloyne, have been for some time united, but are of too large extent, and the present church of Inistar at too great distance from many of the parishioners: and whereas the said several parishes are of sufficient value to maintain two incumbents: be it therefore enacted, That it may be lawful to and for the bishop for the time being, with the approbation of the archbishop of the province, and the consent of the patrons, incumbents, and major part of the parishioners of the said several parishes, to divide the said several parishes into two distinct parishes, and to build and erect another church at the expence of the parishioners of the said respective parishes on some old foundation, or other place convenient within the said parishes; which said church shall be called by the name of the parish-church of Garrycloyne, and that the said church of Inistar, and the said church of Garrycloyne, so to be erected, shall after the death or removal of the present incumbent be deemed and taken to all intents and purposes whatsoever to be two distinct parish-churches, and to be kept in repair by the respective inhabitants of the said respective parishes according to the said division; and that the rights of the respective patrons shall hereby be revived and preserved, any law or statute to the contrary thereof in any wise notwithstanding.
