“All people around Buncrana will tell you the story about the Rushfield priest.”
All people around Buncrana will tell you the story about the Rushfield priest. (Rushfield - 3 mls from Buncrana on main rd to Carndonagh) How he was murdered while saying Mass & show you his grave - however no one seems to know his name. From recent discoveries of lengths of candles. ( A curate Fr Hegarty obtained one just a few days ago) all on high ground - "Sledrin - Falask - Maila etc it seems to have been the same priest who said these masses. He hid the candles in the moss & I suppose re-lighted them in his next visit here.Old people often in remonstrating the young say "You would think you very dressin yerself for Maila"
