From The Southern Star, 31 December 1892 -
SHOOTING OUTRAGE NEAR MACROOM.
On Christmas Day a man named John M. Ahern, residing at
Clonavrick, reported to the police that he had been fired at by a
cousin of his, named Eugene Ahern, while on the road near his
house. He stated that he distinctly heard the bullet whizz past his ear.
On an information having been made, District Inspector Maguire
and several policemen proceeded to Clonavrick and arrested
Eugene Ahern on the charge of shooting at his cousin. It is said that
the prisoner's father has a license for a revolver, and that the
prisoner admits to having fired a shot out of this revolver, but he
denies that he fired at his relative. For some past the relations
between the two families had not been cordial owing to a dispute
about a farm of land from which the prisoner's father had been
dispossessed, and which Andrew Ahern now holds. The prisoner,
who is a young man, was brought before Mr. M. F. Barry, J.P., on
Christmas Day, and remanded to the County Gaol for eight days.
He will be brought up at the Macroom Petty Sessions on
Wednesday next.

From The Irish Times, 27 December 1933 -
Fire at Passage.--About one o'clock on Christmas morning
the Cork Fire Brigade were called to a serious outbreak of
fire at Passage, and on arrival found the three-story house of
Mr. Patrick Aherne, tobacconist, blazing furiously. There was
no hope of saving the building, and the members of the
brigade directed their efforts towards protecting the adjacent
houses. In this they were completely successful. Mr. Aherne's
house was burned down.
