  2. There was a landlord's agent in this parish once whose name was Mr Keane The Marquis Conyngham owned the whole property of Meelick. Mr. Keane lived in Beechpark, Ennis, Co Clare. He evicted 70 families in Meelick in one week and he had not much luck for it, for he died roaring like an ass. After that came the land purchase and after a certain number of years every man owned his own land.
