Kilbride's rent was 760 pounds a year, although the holding was valued at only 450. Although he was a large tenant, he and other tenants adopted the Plan of Campaign.[3]
To raise awareness of the evictions, Kilbride travelled with William O'Brien to Canada, where the Marquess of Lansdowne was governor general, and the USA.[4]
In August 1902, he was charged under the Offences against the Person Act 1861 with incitement to murder - during the course of a speech against an eviction - of Major-General Devinish Meares.[5] That December, he was found guilty and sentenced to eight months' imprisonment.[6] After the passing of the Evicted Tenants Act, 1908, some of this holding, but not his house, was returned to him.[7]
He died at his residence in Luggacurran in 1924 aged 76 and was buried in Clopook cemetery.
