seek this great treasure.
They were no sooner over the river which made its way to the old mill than great big Toadstools rushed upon the men and ran them home.
Everybody is afraid to go near that place at night since that happening.Thomas Gara
My name is Tom O'Gara.
My age is twenty-eight.
I lived not far from Fairymount,
On Lord De Freynes's estate.
Now for the grabbing of some land,
I was involved in strife.
And soon I'll be transported
For the remainder of my life.
(Part of an old song, obtained by Master Michael Cryan, BAllaghadereen from his father Dominic Cryan aged 57 years)
