At the present time there is no accommodation, or provision of food for travellers or tourists in Kilmurry McMahon parish, or it’s villages. There is no post war planning, though I was informed by Gardá and teachers, that the demand for lodgings etc. would be met if - and when - the necessity arises.
There are seven licensed houses in Labasheeda, two in Knock, and one in Kilmurry McMahon. None of those would sell the traveller a cup of tea, or give a nights lodging.
