  1. I live in Kilkee a sea side town on the west Clae coast. It is in the barony of Moyarta.
    Kilkee was built within the last 140 years.
    Before this time it was just sandhills.
    About 120 years it was only a little village with a few fishermens houses.
    The Colleen Bawn spent part of her honeymoon in Kilkee in 1819, so very likely there was some kind of hotel in Kilkee at that time.
    The present Catholic Church was built by the late Rev. Micheal Comyn P.P Kilkee in 1834, and a few years later 1842 there was a number of small houses built just here and there but not in any regular order.
