By 1566, O'Malley had married a second time, this time to [[Risdeárd an Iarainn Bourke|Risdeárd an Iarainn ("Iron Richard") Bourke]], 18th [[Mac William Iochtar|Mac William Íochtar]] (d.1583), his nickname deriving from his ironworks at [[Burrishoole]], the place of his principal castle and residence.<ref>{{harvnb|Chambers|2003|p=63}}</ref> [[Tibbot ne Long Bourke, 1st Viscount Mayo|Tibbot, 1st Viscount Mayo]], was a child of this marriage.

Still not satisfied with her revenge, O'Malley then sailed for Ballycroy and attacked the garrison at Doona Castle, overpowering the defenders and taking the castle for herself.<ref name="chambers55-56">{{harvnb|Chambers|2003|pp=55–56}}</ref> Her attack against the MacMahons was not the first time she interrupted someone at their prayers. Legend tells of another lord who stole property from her and fled to a church for sanctuary. She was determined to wait out the thief, maintaining that he could starve or surrender. The thief dug a tunnel and escaped, however, and the hermit who took care of the church broke his vow of silence to scold her for attempting to harm someone who had sought sanctuary. Her reply is not recorded.<ref>{{harvnb|Chambers|2003|p=56}}</ref>

More than twenty years after her death, an English [[Lord Deputy of Ireland]] recalled her ability as a leader of fighting men, noting the fame she still had among the [[Irish people]].<ref>{{harvnb|Chambers|2003|p=53}}</ref><ref>Calendar of State Papers Relating to Ireland (James I) 1623, no. 997.
