    One of the Local Landlords was George Ormsby Gore. He was an absentee.
    His Irish residence was at Derrycarne Dromod Co Leitrim. He had a large demesne.
    He had a large estate in Co Sligo and also at Harlech in Wales whence he derived his title Lord Harlech. He was a tyrant.
    One hundred years ago when the people wished to erect the Chapel the site was selected on the estate by Lord Harlech refused the lease - he refused also to give a lease for Parochial House and Urbal schools.
