- (continued from previous page)Pronsius waited for him to get up and says he Now Padraig couldn't I take it.
Michael says he does not know who or what Céadach was whether Céadach (Kay-duckh) was a brother or whether it was a nickname.
Pronsius lived before the French crossed the Shannon.
Michael says the Iron works on the Furnace Hill beside Drumshanbo were closed in 1788.
This Padraig More was a very rich man and owned the Iron Works.
& a old song called 'Whiskey I adore' his name comes in.
Oh had I all the sheep that graze on Seamus Reilly's hill
Oh had I all the meadows round
William Crawford's mill
Oh had I all the riches of the
Wealthy Padraig More
I'd give it all and twice as much
for its whiskey I adore.- Collector
