- Many years ago a priest lived Rathdowney named Father Brennan. He had a very big dog and he was very fond of it. One day the dog was rambling around a yard which was owned by William's and they shot him, and they brought him out the country. The priest was very vexed and he said that they would have enough of dogs yet. It is said that when the cows calved the had dog's heads.
