- About fifty years ago a man named Mr Kinsella lived on Vico Road. One day as he was going to Dalkey Island to build a tent a big hole came in the boat and kept getting bigger and the water was getting in. The man did not know what to do so he got a hammer and made another big hole to let it out.

- Here is an old cure for boils. Get some nettles, boil them and take the juice and rub it on your hands. Then put it on the boils and they will get better after a week.
