  2. Priests Hunted

    Share Share Post
    In olden times priests used to stay in the houses with the people as there were people going about called priest-hunters. There was a priest one time who stopped in Owenirk in the house of Michael McDaid. The people of the house used to cook his food. He used to say Mass, and the people around used to gather in, and hear Mass unknown to the spies who were going about. The ruins of this house is to be seen yet.
