    It was supposed that priests said Mass in a cave behind Connolly's house in Prizon and also in another cave on the far side of Cnoc Spulagadaún in a place called the Omar in Poll Mona.
    The priest used to go in disguise from place to place administering the sacraments and saying Mass for the people.
    There was a notorious Priest Hunter in htis County of Mayo. He was a Seán Mullouney known as "Seán a Sagart". He killed priests as if they were wild animals and received £5 per head from Bingham governor of Mayo as his reward.
    Seán Mullouney was a native of Ballintubber.
