The Vandeleur evictions took place between 18 and 30 July 1888. Mr. French, a photographer working for Lawrence, was present at the eviction of Matthias McGrath in Moyasta on 26 July and at some of the other evictions. See `The Vandeleur Evictions in Kilrush 1888: The Plan of Campaign' by Noel J. Mulqueen (1988) and `The Vandeleur evictions, Kilrush 1888', by Ignatius Murphy in The Other Clare, Volume 4 (April 1980), 37-41.

My Grandmother's Family ( Liddane ) were evicted from their farm in Rehy, Co. Clare in the closing days of the 19th Century. Rehy is not far from Moyasta. The family scattered to The UK; The USA; and New Zealand. The youngest son, Dennis Liddane, was killed in France on Oct. 10, 1918 about a month before the end of World War 1. He was fighting for the American Army. I don't think he was even an American Citizen. Dennis is buried at the Meuse Argonne American Cemetery in France. So sad. The family never recovered from the death of the last born child.

Marine Attack Squadron ( VMA ) 225 As you say, "so sad", especially to be killed so close to the end of WWI. Thanks for all of the above information, and the Clare Champion article is lovely....

A more recent article from the Clare Champion. The name Linnane should be Liddane. In Sept. 2011, I was able to get approval from the US Army for the Purple Heart and two WW 1 Victory Medals for Dennis Liddane. The US Army will not be sending the Medals to me in NY til the Summer of 2012. I will be taking the Medals back to County Clare in 2013. I intend to give these Medals to the people of County Clare.

The Youngest, Dennis Liddane was killed fighting for the American Army in France; Oct. 10, 1918, about a month before the end of the war. He is buried in France at the Muese Argonne American Cemetery. I don't even think he was an American Citizen. So sad. The family never recovered.

For anyone interested, though we first posted this image a few years back, the events it captures were covered in a 2015 episode of Tríd an Lionsa (available, as of Nov 2015, on the TG4 web-player).

National Library of Ireland on The Commons Any chance please of a hi-res version of this. I think that is "Mr & Mrs Tourist" aka Major and Mrs O'Shaughnessy on the right wearing the same hat, which implies the date is Tuesday 31/7/1888. This is the middle view between and
