  1. Landlords

    Share Share Post
    Long ago there was a good many landlords in this district. These landlords collected the rent from the tenants each year. There were three or four landlords in Cloonkeen and one in Cappagh. The landlords owned the land in this district and if the tenants did not pay the rent the landlords evicted them. Some of the in Cloonkeen lived in Pollock's estate near Creggs but they were evicted and sent to Cloonkeen. There were a good many people evicted from Cappagh long ago.
