    Share Share Post
    Holmes was a Protestant who lived in Clogher and he owned a lot of the land. He made the tenants come and pay tithes in the Protestant church on St Patrick's Day - he wouldn't take the oats - that was how they paid - any other time but "Paideen's Day" as he called it always.
