Old Roads
“Long ago the road which goes from Tullinarogue to Cloonmone was only a small path...”
Long ago the road which goes from Tullinarogue to Cloonmone was only a small path. In the Famine days it was opened up by the Government as relief works for the people of this district. At John Pattersons of Corry there was a boiler where every one got a little Indian porridge daily. This helped to keep the people of this district alive. All roads at this time were straight. The road which goes out on the new road in Kilmore would go out on the new road at Cloonmore only the the Government could not afford to give enough money to cut the hill. This road is 220yds long.
