Ernene,

I met Gerard Madden in 2000. He is a very busy person as he runs people out
to Holy Island on his boat and does research for clients. I have always had
my emails returned every time I sent one. Gerard was also working a 40 hour
job last I heard. I would suggest you contact him by the email on the
Tuamgraney East Clare Heritage site before giving up.

Regards,

Jim McNamara

PS - I believe the Corrofin Heritage Centre charges twice the fee as
Tuamgraney.
