It might therefore be fitting if a short account of the "Black and Tans" in this parish was given and I am therefore giving Mr Dan Dowling's (Parish Clerk, Ballydwyer) story of the "Black and Tans" in Ballymacelligott. He says:
"The first visit the Black and Tans paid to this parish was on the 12th November 1920 when they arrived at Ballydwyer creamery about 11 O'Clock am. Most of the milk suppliers had gone home when 10 or 12 lorries of "Tans" and military arrived and suddenly opened fire on the people in the creamery yard - who ran panic stricken through the fields. The following were shot dead:
1. Patrick Herlihy, Ballymacpierce - an employee of the creamery.
2. John McMahon (farmer) Droum, a milk supplier.
Timothy Walsh engine driver and John McEllistrim were wounded. Fr M McDonnell C.C. arrived on the scene immediately and asked the officer in charge of the military (Lieut Chaucher) why they fired on defenceless people. The(leanann ar an chéad leathanach eile)
