- (ar lean ón leathanach roimhe)leading from Killyconnan to Knocknagilla was then only a narrow lane. The farmer's produce had to be conveyed on the animals back, as there were no carts.
The poor also got employment from the better off people, and were glad to work for the food. At the building of Corrawillan Mill and houses, masons worked for their support as did the men who attended them.
The government also gave relief-meal to the starving people. They erected boilers in different areas. There was one boiler on the middle of the street in Stradone. It is now lying in a field beside 'Leiter tree'. Another was at Pat Fay's Corrahoe. These big pots were boiled daily to make Indian meal stirabout which was divided among the people who had tickets, and, according to the number in each family, they got their allowance. The following is a rhyme concerning this.
The people had Indian meal and Public works,
We'll all dine in Joe Mc Gurks.
