- (continued from previous page)Several were burned to death and others were trampled to death. Among them were several children.
Amongst those that lost their lives were Rose Irwin of Feenagh. Mary Noonan of Dromcollogher, Mrs O Callaghan Dromcollogher and Nora Hannighan of London. It was a death trap as there was not much means of escape. A large number were also taken to the County Hospital for treatment where they were detained for several months. There was a Solemn High Mass offered for the repose of their souls on the day they were buried. His Lordship Bishop Hanlon consecrated the grave where they were buried.- Informant
