Not a reply, but a correction by myself.   I used ' O'Looney ' as an English version/translation for the surname, without studying the top of the memorial !  More common in the north of Ireland as an English version of the old Irish name is ' O'Loan '. (Some Irish names have several versions, when it comes to translating/and historical use).

That is seanchló, the old Irish font. The inscription also uses older spellings and word forms that were used before the language was standardised.

Go ndéanaidh croidhe ro-naomhtha Íosa trócaire ar anamaibh Enrí Uí Luain a fuair bás 2adh lá Aibreáin 1901. Agus Sibéil Ní Chiardha a bhean phósda a fuair bás an 26adh lá Márta 1901. Agus ar anam a mic Enrí Óig Uí Luain M.E. fear dligheadh a fuair bás 27adh Iúil 1898. Agus ar anam an t-athair Dhómhnaill Uí Luain D.D. an mac is sine a fuair bás 15adh Samhin 1911. A bhí ina ollamh i gcolaite Muighe Nuadhat ar feadh cúig bliadhna déag agus ar anam an t-athair Cathal Uí Luain, S.P. a chuir suas an leac-uaighe seo agus a fuair bás ar 30adh Deireadh Fóghmhair 1935.

May the sacred heart of Jesus have mercy on the souls of Enrí Ó Luain, who died 2nd day of April 1901. And Sibéil Ní Chiardha, his wife, who died the 26th day of March 1901. And on the soul of their son Enrí Junior Ó Luain M.E. a lawyer, who died 27th of July 1898. And on the soul of Father Dómhnall Ó Luain D.D., the oldest son, who died 15th November 1911, who was a professor in Maynooth college for fifteen years and on the soul of Father Cathal Ó Luain, S.P. (= sagart paróiste, parish priest) who put up this gravestone and who died on 30th October 1935.

I'm afraid I don't know what the initialisms M.E. and D.D. stand for, sorry!
