- About thirty years ago a man named Paddy Tavog lived in this district. He was one of Lord Kenmare's bailiffs and process-servers. At that time a poet named Joseph Dineen lived in this district. Paddy processed Dineen for some debt. Then Dineen got angry and he made this verse about Paddy.
"May the Lord above
Send down a dove,
With wings as sharpt as razors.
To cut the hide
Off Paddy Tavog
For serving all the neighbours."- Collector
