- COn Burke Milane, Dunamaway told me, he well remembers to have my grandfather tell him there were 80 families living on the farm that Paddy Collins Inch now owns.
This was before the Great Famine and in two years the whole lot were banished. They lived in tiny cabins; in fact some of them were just shelters put up beside a ditch.
There was a poor old woman in a cabin near Sillertane school + she was dead several days before anyone knew it. When they went into the cabin the corpse was in such an awful state of decay that they could not remove it, they simply knocked in the little cabin on it.
