    Peter McCormack from Clooney". Soon afterwards a great crowd of girls and boys came in and greeted Peter in the same fashion. Peter was surprised because because he didn't know any of them and they all seemed to know him well. They danced all night and had a big supper. They all bade Peter "good-night" as they were going in the morning. He went to bed and when he awoke in the morning he found himself above in Clooney Bog, with a sod of turf for a pillow.
    This was told to Mary O'Loughlin, Creevagh, Quin by Thomas MacNamara, Creevagh, Quin, Co. Clare.

  2. The Famine

    Leathanach 306

    The time of the famine, there did a poor man and woman live in Newmarket On Fergus. They had nothing to eat and the man died with the hunger. His wife went to the Poor House in Ennis a distance of about six miles for a coffin for him. She had to walk it up and bring home the coffin by herself. As she was coming home near Clare Castle, she was so weak and hungry that she left the coffin down by the road side to take a rest. Sometimes afterwords she was found (by) dead by the side of the coffin. The neighbours had to get another coffin and the two of them were buried together in Carrig Gorne churchyard.

  3. Bunratty and it's Castles

    no part of the existing building belongs to a period earlier than 1440. Two of the Museum lists of castle builders assign the foundation of Bunratty to Maccon son of Sioda Mac Conmara chief of Clan Cuelin, who died in 1428. Maccon was the son of founder (Sioda) of the Franciscan church of Quin. Reading the English State papers at this time, it would seem that the English considered the Mac Conmara to be the chief military power to be dealt with in Thomond.
    The men, it may be safely asserted who had built a few years earlier, the noble monastery of Quin, for the order of Francis with its tower and beautiful cloisters, and were at this period both rich and powerful, were of course, quite capable of erecting even as fine a castle as Bunratty. But supposing, as is most probable the castle was built by the Mc Namaras and in their possession for many years, how and when did its ownership pass from the Mc Namaras into the O Briens hands for it is an undoubted historical fact that for a certain number of years before

    It is said that there was a secret passage underground between the abbey and Knoppogue Castle, a distance of four miles away. People making a grave in the abbey a short while ago came upon an underground passage leading in the direction of Knoppogue.
    It is said that the monks of the Abbey were successful in storing the sacred vessels in Knoppogue by means of the secret passage, during the Cromwellian Wars. A good portion of the Castle of Knoppogue is still intact and habitable and it is the common belief of the people of the neighbourhood that its cellars now covered by a modern mansion contain much that belonged to Quin Abbey long ago.
    It was the Mc Namara clan that built Quin Abbey. It is said that a son of the Chief of the Mc Namaras was drowned in a river quite convenient to the spot where the ruins of the Abbey now stand. Prayers were said to St Francis (because it was his feast day) that if the

    unbaptised children were buried long ago. It was situated by Scallan's field but when the road was made, the little graveyard was shut off from Scallan's land. Everyone that goes over this spot hears a sound like an empty barrel.
    Three years ago while ploughing a field owned by Bartly Cash of Ballina John Quin discovered a number of gravestones while ploughing. Mr Quin told me that he and Mr. Cash dug down beside one of the stones but when they had gone four feet down they left it so. They could not make out the writing they say that it is not English anyhow. These stones were supposed to be stone coffins.

    The Local Traders are thatching and basket making. Hary Coyle makes baskets and Arthur Reilly and James Quin and Paddy Conaty thatches. There is one carpenter in this District. The thatchers go to the houses and the carpenter. But the basket-makers bring the rods to their own houses and make them there. These trades are nearly all gone.
    Thatching
    Long ago all the houses were thatched, but now the most of them are slated and some new ones are built. The thatchers are Arthur Reilly and James Quin and Paddy Conaty. They use oats straw because it is better than wheaten straw. The man of the house cuts scallops from sally rods and the thatcher drives them into the thatch. A person has to attend him. They go up the ladder with a bundle of scallops under one arm and a bundle of straw under the other. The thatcher

    I always saw there in that bright part of Clare

    Give me back the sweet tone of the bell.
