  1. Landlord's Tyranny

    Share Share Post
    During the reign of Landlords in Ireland long ago, many stories are told of their cruelty to their tenants. One true story is told of how they evicted thirty-two familys in one day and knocked their houses to the grounde Those houses were built from Bookeen roade over to Raherneen boreen. When they had the houses knocked they sowed oats in their place.
