  2. The local landlord over Kilclare district was Mr. John McKeon who lived in Newbrook Kilclare. He went on horseback from house to house collecting rents which were known as "Poor Rents". He appointed a certain period for payment, and if the people were unable to pay the full amount at this time he took it in small amounts according as it was convenient for them.
