They moved into a ranch-style bungalow (out of shot).

Roof removed by local bailiffs to prevent the evicted family move back in…probably.
Might be connected to the land clearances and transportations by the local landlords during the times of the Encumbered Estates Act, remarkably similar to the latter-day carry on with NAMA.
Ships were filled in nearby Sligo harbour with extremely unfortunate evicted families, sent to Canada, ships emptied and filled with Canadian lumber for the return trip, because why waste an empty ship..
Beautiful photo, tinged with the wistful melancholy that still shrouds the hills.

“The Encumbered Estates’ Court was established by an act of the British Parliament in 1849, to facilitate the sale of Irish estates whose owners, because of the Great Famine, were unable to meet their obligations.] It was given authority to sell estates on application from either the owner or an encumbrancer (somebody who had a claim on it) and, after the sale, distribute the proceeds among the creditors, granting clear title to the new owners. In 1858, the court’s functions were assumed by the Landed Estates Court, which, in turn, was replaced by the Land Commission that was set up under the 1881 Land Act.”
The more things change….

Was this area in Geniff owned by the Gore Booths, as they were involved with

the “Hero of the Hills” the “Bull McSharry” on the local history.
