“Patrick Connolly who used to work with farmers in Cluain Ceadh Móir died 3 years ago.”
Patrick Connolly who used to work with farmers in Cluain Ceadh Móir died 3 years ago. He was then 80 years old. 40 years before his death he CAUGHT A HARE which was being hunted by dogs. Patrick was on the off side of the fence and as the hare cleared it she came on briers and had no proper footing. In an instant Patrick jumped up and "grabbed" her with his two hands even while the dogs were after her.(no title)
“Up to 40 years ago all Burren men were great oarsmen - every farmer and labourer had a boat.”
