I've just been looking at the Annual Report for 1861 and reading about an on-going project of refurbishment to tenants' cottages, and (unconnected) the eviction of eight men identified as 'Ribbonmen'. The men are named as Loughlin Kelly of Ballina, Henry Bryan of Cross Keys (public house), John Clibborn of Clonmore, John Helion of Killurin, Darby Flanagan of Pigeonhouse, John Whelaghan of Colehill and William Grumby of Dalgan. They were, according to the land agent writing the report, conspiring to kill the landlord's son.
