- St Ita is the patroness of Killeedy, Co. Limk, She was born in Co. Waterford. When she grew up her father wanted to get her married. But Ita wanted to enter the convent. She left her father's house and travelled to Killeedy in Co. Limk. There she established her convent. One day St Ita was passing through the village of Tournafulla, she went into a house and left her ass standing outside. While she was inside the blackguards of the village illused her ass. Tradition says that St Ita cursed the village of Tournafulla. She said it would never be without a widow or a widower, a blackguard and a smoky chimney.
