That's fab. Thanks very much guys. I have it spelt Drinagh but since it's the same pronunciation the person completing the Army form could have easily spelt it wrong. This might be why there was no record of my Timothy Francis O'Connor b25/04/1887 in Drinagh, perhaps sometimes less is more for searches at the records office and they may have found it if I hadn't given them the parish. Your info may also help me find "The Grange" - a family dwelling around 1805.
