I know Shane.  :-\

I fell in love with Killarney when I visited in the 60's, little did I think I had a connection.  :P

Wondering if this writing is so very bad I'm seeing what isn't there!  ::)

Could this be something like CoherciRvar?  That is an R and V instead of a W.

I would go along with Killarney for the second word. I've seen  'via Killarney' on addresses in Sneem, which is almost as far as Cahirciveen from Killarney. Cahirciveen had ferries - to Valentia Island, and to a place referred to locally as 'over the water' (use is so common that I cannot for now remember its correct name!  :-[ )

There is a place named Currow in Killarney, might not be the right place though.

Why don't you email the Killarney library at      killarney@kerrylibrary.ie   and ask them. They are sure to be able to solve the
riddle for you.
