An Sean Phobal had a much greater population before the famine than it does now.
In many ways, it has never recovered, Most notably in the seaside glens along the coast where many towns-land villages once existed Tóin Tí Thaidhg, Baile Mhic Airt íoctarach, and Baile na hAirde to name but a few.
Immigration and death ridded these glens of a great majority of their human inhabitants.
Plenty of ruined Boháns or cottages are still visible to the eye after years of vegetation overgrowth in these glens.
