    2. Here's a link to the Ballymote version. _http://clanmaclochlainn.com/McSweenyBallymote.jpg_ (http://clanmaclochlainn.com/McSweenyBallymote.jpg) I followed the transcription of Paul Walsh in his Leabhar Clainni Suibhne. I'd almost forgotten this. After the tales of the MacSweeneys in Scotland and Ireland the author added this: "Tadhg son of Fitheal wrote this small work on the Ramifications of Clann Stuhhne in haste and with a had implement, without chalk or pumice-stone. And let not him who reads it cast any blame on the writer. For if there he a mistake in it, the writer is not responsible for it, but the fact that he did not compose the book beforehand, and that it was mainly out of his head that he set it down. And let every one who reads it bestow a blessing on the soul of the writer, namely," Tadhg mac Fithil. John
