   Roinn Roinn Postáil

   I remember the year 1849 when the evictions were at their worst. The landlord down here in [?] was Brown I think and as soon as he put out the little farmers, there were land grabbers around who grabbed the land.
   We used to have a meeting here every evening and we'd go to the meetings with banners waving across the whole road and "The Land for the People" written on them, and "Pay no Rent", at these meetings it would be passed that all land grabbers were to be boycotted. There was wan man down here and he had a big shop and he grabbed some land from which a poor farmer had been evicted. Well there was a meeting held that evening and it was decided that he should be boycotted no wan ever darkened his door from that day out and he died soon afterwards.
   There was a pirest in Kilmore at that time, Father Tom Doyle I think his name was, well twas Father Tom someday anyhow and he was head over these meetings and he helped the poor farmers
