- About two miles west of the village of Mainistir-an-Aonaig is the pretty market town of Croom on the Maigue. It was the paternal home of the O'Donovan's, chieftains of the territory as far as Kilmallock, until Henry VIII granted it to Maurice Fitzgerald, and from which the Fitzgeralds took their war-cry, 'Crom Aboo!'
The castle, built on the Maigue, was originally built by Dermot O'Donovan in the reign of King John. it was subsequently re-built by the Fitzgeralds from whom Carew took it in 1600, and invested it in the Crown. Charles II granted it to his son, the Duke of Richmond who resided there for a time. It was eventually purchased by the late Dr: Lyons M.P. for Dublin, and his nephew Mr Lyons resided there up to the time of his death quite recently.
