  1. Landlords

    Share Share Post
    Mooney of Doon was landord over a large area. Frank Mooney never evicted any tenant and he received very little rent. He was a magistrate and a very popular man and was always going around among the people.
    He stated he would never evict a tenant for non-paymnet of rent, but to look out for his son Robert when he became landlord. His words were true for Robert evicted several families. They were Williams of Doon, Bolands of the Derries and Flynns.
