Landlords.
There were four or five landlords in this district about fifty years ago. (There) Their names were Aurthor Creagh from Carahan and the Butlers who came after him as landlords in that district. Joseph Hall from Clooney Big House and Pearse O'Brien from Derrymore. Aurthor Creagh had not many tenants. He evicted a man named Brian Kearney in Carahan and Brian went up to the castle in Rathclooney and lived there.
Joseph Hall had only two tenants: The McMahons and the Meades. He evicted the Meades but when he died they got back their farm again.
