   I cannot leave Sronell or pass from Damer without mentioning Liam Dall, as he is commonly called i.e. 'Liam Dall O Heffernan of Sronell'. In the two articles wh I published in the "Irish Press" 1935 ( 15/ Aug I think and later) I incorporated all the material wh. I collected at Sronell some years previously.

Or did he spend many years on the Continent as a clerical student? If so, what deprived him of his eye-sight? An examination of documents (published in MSS) prove the Heffernans were very strongly entrenched in the lands of Sronell immediately before the day of Cromwell.
