Local history is close to our hearts here in Kilrickle National School. The boys in 5th and 6th Class took a quick visit to our local graveyard to visit the grave of Anthony Daly. Anthony Daly was a raparee and a member of the secret society - The Whiteboys. The Whiteboys would have protected local farmers from unfair treatment in the 1800s. He was hung for crimes associated with the Whiteboys. To find our more about Anthony Daly see this link - https://athenry.org/record/the-hanging-of-anthony-daly-1284/
