  1. When the penal laws were in force the people were forbidden to go to mass or to school and the people would have to sell their animals if they were valued more than five pounds.
    The penal laws were in force for over a hundred years and in that time the people had to suffer very much for the faith.
    Those laws were put in force to leave the Irish in a state of ignorance.
    When the laws were in full force the people always went to mass and to school but sometimes they were found out and put to death.
