   The O'Brien - cousins of the Dillons were great irish men to fight for their religion and their god, and when the English wanted to make a session house out of the church Conor O'Brien held the key in one hand and the revolver in the other and defied any man to take possession of the Church and put down the English "pregale". The Temples were old irish clans. They were good gentlemen and great sportsmen. The Courage were irish men but very little good. Lord Castlemaine was a good man in the country. He gave work to the people and helped the poor.
