Title: Arson attacks on Leitrim Creameries
Post by: TonyMcGartland on Friday 25 August 17 16:16 BST (UK)
Does anyone know anything about a spate of arson attacks on creameries in and around Kinlough/Glenade during the  pre-1920 period. My wife grandfather was a creamery manager there and it was also burned to the ground. Would appreciate something, if possible.

Finisklin which incorporates all the old small creameries and may be of help

Sorry his name is not coming up but if you enter Kinlough into search archives here you will see some compensation files
