St. Ita’s Hall was originally known as the Parochial Hall. It was officially opened on New Year’s Night 1928. Fund-raising for the Hall was organised by Canon Jeremiah Murphy, who had been appointed P.P. of Abbeyfeale in April 1924. The building of the Hall was a co-operative effort, all involved giving their services free. This new Hall replaced the Temperance Hall, which was burned by The Black & Tans. In the downstairs area the late Mr. Jim Kelly and his sister Anna commenced their Post Primary School, later to become St. Ita’s College in a new location.
Presently the Hall is a hive of activity – Legion of Mary, Bereavement Support, West Limerick Community Development, Parents’ & Toddler Groups and many others. In recognition of Abbeyfeale’s proud association with the Irish Language the name over the main door reads “Halla Íde Naofa”
