• 1498: Burning of O'Neill Castle (Near Dublin Road Corner) by Garret Mor, Earl of Kildare.

1567: Second Burning of O'Neill Castle, again by Garret Mor.

Garret Mor burned the Castle in 1498 and then again 69 years later??? Is this correct, do we have a case of a son sharing his fathers name??

• Maybe it is his son, or it could be a type of group, but i oubt the latter? Jvlm.123 09:35, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

• Surely Garret Mor's son would be called Garret Óg, if that was the case?

• I admit, that's probably right - but the history section is revamped now. Jvlm.123 16:35, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Unjustified removal

People seem adamant to keep Joe McMahon out of the list of notable people from Omagh. I have yet to hear anyone justify this, but I think that being the only person from the town to have an All-Ireland medal definately makes him noteworthy. If this is not disputed soon, I am going to have to put his name back on the list.--Macca7174 19:32, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

I have also noted that the users (three of them) who removed his name have all been anon users, with only one (one has a second) edit. I am replacing.--Macca7174 00:22, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
