- About the time of the Repeal, the people of Clare refused to pay tithes to the landlord.
Now a collector visited the house of Mac Cinnéide in Oughterard and took away his only cow.
Mac Cinneide was working in the garden and when he came to his dinner he discovered the cow gone.
He took his spade and crossed the fields and bogs until he overtook the Tithe Collector in Trusclieve. He demanded his cow but the collector refused to give her up and a scuffle ensued in which the Proctor was killed and thrown into Liosmacidá and buried there and that ended the paying of Tithes in Western Clare.
