“On marching through Ballycarney the Yeomen commenced burning the houses and slaughtering the people without mercy.”

On marching through Ballycarney the Yeomen commenced burning the houses and slaughtering the people without mercy. A young girl named Mary Dwyer ran from her house and mounted a Yeomans horse. On each side of the horse was a pistol. She shot seven yeomen and was killed after by a Yeoman near a wind-mill.Written by : Felix Murphy
