  1. Fights

    Share Share Post
    There used be a couple of fairs in Gabhlán every year.
    When going home from the fair in the evening the Keanes and the OMalleys used have faction nights till they reached Leenane.
    A woman put a stone into a stocking and struck a man with the stocking. The man died from the wound. The woman was put into Galway gaol.
    There was another fight in Leenane between the Mornays and the Joyces. The two leaders were killed. The two coffins reached Beárna Gort graveyard at the same time.
    The crowd fought again to see which of them would get into the graveyard first. The Joyces won.
