T.J Westropp did not know who he was or was he a saint at all .The Protestant Canon O Dwyer in his history of the Diocese of Killaloe gives at the end of the volume a short account of every parish in the diocese of Killaloe and he used the survey letters. In his short account of Kilmaley he does not tell us who Máille was, but there is one thing he does say and that is:that the vicarage of Kilmaley was united to Drumcliff until 1832.
