The Landlord & The Fishermen of Ballyeigh Ballybunion. In 1880 there was a demonstration to highlight the attempt to embank or close of a section of the Ballyeagh Strand by the local landlord of Ennismore Lixnaw North Kerry. A huge demonstration took place on the famous mound on the Castle Green today where the band stand is located with thousands of people attending brass bands and speakers added to the occasion with the seaside town of Ballybunion exceeding numbers stated of 12,000.
Danny Houlihan again trawls the old faded newspapers for details to throw a light once more on the event and the people of the area during the period and the implications to the natural areas of the Cashen and up river.
If the landlord had succeeded the area would have been ruined for centuries and the precious wildlife wiped out and indeed the people of the area.
