- There was a man once whose name was Tadeen Sean Taigd. He lived in Tullylease, and used to come to Dromcollogher creamery. One day, his dog followed him to the creamery, and the dogs of the town, chased him in through Mrs. Twomeys window. Mrs Twomey summoned Tadeen for the breaking of her window, but he denied in Court, that the dog was his. Mrs Twomey said, "the dog is yours, he was following you." Tadeen said, "Begor Mam if you were following me, how could I hunt you home."
