- Penal-times.
Here are some of the Penal laws of the district of Lagan Ardee. Long ago the people would'nt be let say mass on a Sunday or any day. The would be put into prison or put to death. In those days they had to say mass in secret places. One of the secret places which they used to say mass long ago was in Cool-Derry Plantation.
The name of the priest was Father Boylan. In those days if a priest was caught saying Mass he would be hanged or put into prison.
In those days there would be over 100 people to attend the Holy mass.
