- I am living in the town of Cloyne which is in the Barony of Imokilly. This is how Cloyne got its name. In olden times there was a tree growing in the graveyard which was called Cloyne and from that tree it got its name. The population is over six hundred. O'Brien is the most common name in Cloyne. All the houses have slate roofs. Mrs Carroll who lives in Garryowen is eighty-five years of age and she can tell stories in Irish.Thomas Canavan of Spittal Street is seventy five years of age and he can speak Irish. There were more houses in Cloyne long ago but they are in ruin now.Infromation received from,
Mrs Power
