    the name of Philip Kinane also of the parish of Upperchurch. Philip Kinane was a great runner too but he was not able to beat his challenger, James Shortt. So good was he to run that one time he caught a horse that was running away by running after it. Sometimes too he caught rabbits.

  2. Local Heroes - Great Singers and Storytellers

    Share Share Post
    One of our great local singers was James Fogarty living in the parish of Drom, Co. Tipperary. Some of his songs were "Maura Ruad" and "Carden's Wild Domain". He was a great patriot and spent some time in jail. He went by the name of "Nelson" because his father walked to Dublin to meet a landlord and back again. When he came he said he was as good as Nelson the great warrior. He lived about the end of the nineteenth century. None of his near relatives are alive.
    Thomas Murray of Drom, parish of Drom, Co. Tipperary, was a great storyteller. His favourite stories were about the Fenians and Ghost stories.
