  1. Miss Hanora Noonan Cloneen was born about 1868. She became a monitress in Drangen Convet school but from about the age of sixteen her sight began to leave her and since then she has practically lost it completely. From time to time she composed various poems on different themes. They are mostly dealing with events in the lives of her acquaintances but she has written a few on patriotic lines and some describing various parts of the locality.
    She lives in the village of Cloneen right under Slievenamon
