All those who were known in Beara as RINEYS brought that branch-name with them from the parish of Tuosist in nearby County Kerry, but they reverted to their surname O'NEILL when they emigrated to the States. There is the story of Mike Riney who was living in the townland of Cahirkeem in the western end of the Parish of Eyeries. Times were bad in the mining industry in Allihies around 1883, so Mike travelled to Ardgroom Village, sold his horse for £5 to make the price of his ticket to the States, and later became a Mine Superintendent in Butte, Montana. ----- Riobard.
