“Two paper mills were in this parish...”
Two paper mills were in this parish one at Kildinan Bridestown and the other at Céim. The Céim mill manufactured all sorts of paper. It was a branch of the Dripsey paper mill, but worked for some years after Dripsey closing down. The paper industry ceased about 40 years ago. It gave employment to about 50, besides carmen.
Many towns in Ireland and England were supplied with paper from this mill.
