I have posted in the past about a book on these infamous evictions, which includes tenants' photos (the name Cleary comes to mind). Here the O'Hallorans are described as particularly defensive. I love the spirit shown in the smirk of the O'Halloran teenager who has the most white trim on her blouse, in the provided photo. http://www.askaboutireland.ie/show_narrative_page.do?page_id=1325 Sharon Carberry Georgia

Sharon thank you so much for sharing all this research with us. It is very interesting and informative. It helps me so much to understand the context of the times and what these records are really about.

Many thanks for flagging this info, Sharon. You and the other Clare Listers will have noticed that the article on the Bodyke evictions at www.askaboutireland.ie/ appears identical to the text on that subject on the Clare County Library website (posted there in early 2003). In fact it originated from the Clare County Library. It appears on a page of the www.askaboutireland.ie bearing the Library crest but I can't find an attribution of the text to the Library. What a pity. Anyway, the account is fascinating. Thanks also for the heaps of meaty stuff that you are contributing to this list.
