Could it be Cloncorick in Co. Fermanagh (which fell within the Clones Registration area till 1922)? The surname appears to be McCabe. If so there’s 4 households of them in Cloncorick in 1901:

That would make sense.

I think it's Scale(s?) Repairer, as in weighing scales.
You haven't said which census this is from, but I see the enumerator has given it the occupational code 260, which happens to be the one used in 1921 for repairers of weighing scales:

Possibly "Scullion" - a servant assigned the most menial kitchen tasks.
