- (continued from previous page)Mass there were priests in hiding in every district. Tradition tells us that there was an old shed on the townsland of Meadstown near Dunderry where a priest used say Mass regularly. The English soldiers never captured the priest while he was in this district.
In Dunlough the land which to-day belongs to Mr. Cullinan there are ruins of an old house still to be seen where a hunted priest very often said Mass and administered the Sacraments. Those are among the stories which are locally circulated.
- Where Walkers lil live at Rath Vale now there was a big shed where hundreds of people went to m mass. Father Mochuda was one of the Priests that was shot there.
Plenty of men went to hear Mass there from Tullaghanogue in that year 1788.
