- Lord Glengall was landlord of Cahir, and at the time of Catholic Emancipation - or religious agitation prior to 1829 - the priests of Cahir advised and warned ! the people not to vote for any Protestant landlord. There were a good many who stood out fearlessly but there were others who were easily seduced who gave their vote. The compensation given was that the landlord built fine houses for these - they were called the "CASTLES OF CONSCIENCE," and were numerous in the Clonmore district. A Ned Mullaney lived in one out in Clonmore. An O'Donnell family lived in another but a brother - Fr O'Donnell came from America and took out the whole family.
