- (ar lean ón leathanach roimhe)Where Fitzgerald's house now is belonged at wan time to people by the name of Moore. The corner house was in later years an old courthouse.
There was a public there at that corner in the year of '98 the year of the rebellion. The English soldiers stopped there. They had a priest with them, a prisoner, bound hand and foot, and my great great grandfather brought him out a drop of wine.
The soldiers let the pegs out of the barrels and the wine and beer run out about the street.
They brought the priest on to Geneva Barracks and beheaded him there. They say he was the croppy boy, that is mentioned in the song.
