- Daniel Shanahan who was a native of this parish was a famous jumper. He held the World's Championship for the hop step and jump at fifty feet one inch since 1888. He held the Championship until about four years ago when the record was beaten at the Olympic games by Rosengrove from Gort, Co. Galway. The latter emigrated to Australia to win fresh laurels and fame as well as to make his fortune, what appeared up to then almost an impossibility.
