Lenehan and Corley appear in at least two works by James Joyce: Lenehan: Corley: Lenehan, as well as being described as a 'leech', is a writer of 'flimsies' (horse racing tip sheets) and apparently does some freelance journalist hack work, notably at the Freeman's Journal newspaper.
He is shown in "Two Gallants" to be conning an infatuated servant girl out of money, possibly her master's, and also may be a police informer (Joyce is deliberately obscure on this point).
The two are friends, with Lenehan appearing as the remora to Corley's shark in "Two Gallants".
