    Lahana
    Drimoleague
    he relates his experiences during the Land League when he had to spend 14 days in gaol because he was Pooking or shouting passing the Landlord's House Written in Nov. 1937
    Tom Beamish the Landlord of Lahana was against all the Tenants and he said that he for one would fight the Land League.
