- The name of my townland is Machaire. It is in the parish of Clooney and in the barony of Bunratty. It got its name because it is a very level place. There are fifteen houses in it now. Long ago there were seventy houses in it. About half of these houses are slated. There are not many old people living in Machaire now. Pat McNamara is an old man living in it. He has no Irish but he is a very good story-teller. In this townland there are a good many old ruins of houses. They are kept to give shelter to cattle now. Many of the people of Machaire emigrated to America long ago and have not returned ever since. The commonest surname in this townland is Murphy.
