• The article has close paraphrasing which must be rewritten in your own words:
• Source: The MacGillycuddy was one of the few Gaelic chieftains to have his lands restored after the Cromwellian confiscations, a circumstance which helps to explain why the name has survived to this day. The MacGillycuddy family tomb is at Kilgobnet, between the mountains and Killorglin.

Good spot. Wouldn't have thought there would have been paraphrasing in a GA.EchetusXe 15:32, 8 May 2020 (UTC)

 Done This was a direct quote from the reference (and repeated as a quote in the reference). I meant to add the quote marks to note this, however, have decided to re-write the sentence (although the ref still gives the exact quote) for good order. Hope that works. Thanks. :::::*Britishfinance (talk) 21:29, 8 May 2020 (UTC)
