- (continued from previous page)attended every year, and is kept on the Sunday following 20th August. Canon Healy and Canon Carrigan have written about St Moling when in Mullinakill. But the legend is that the Saint didn't like the habit the people there had of coming, "peeping at him, so he left that place and went to the place now called St.Mullins. But before leaving he said that * "There would always be a rogue in Listerlin, a fool in Coolnahaw (beside Mullinakill) and a cripple in Ballyneale and a strong man and a strong horse in Curraghlane". (These exist in those localities at the present time)St. Moling's Cave is close beside his Blessed well in Mullinakill. Inhabitants of 60 years or so remember people suffering from headache or pain in the knee going to St. Moling's well in Listerlin where these stones were fitted on affected part as described to be cured.
* A strange thing is that this saying of St Moling's has always been true, and at the present time there is a rogue in Listerlin, a fool in Coolnahaw, a cripple (God save the hearers) in Ballyneale, and a strong man and a strong horse in Curraghlane: this has been noticed as being the case as (long) as people can remember.
