“Tobar na n-amhrán is situated in the Ballinagarde Estate Co. Limerick”
(continued from previous page)Tobar na nAmhráncuring many ailments but it is specially dedicated to the curing of sore eyes.It is said that a blind monk in France dreamt of this well in Ballinagarde and that if he rubbed the waters of the well to his eyes he would be cured.
He made his way to Ballinagarde Well and when he bathed his eyes there his sight was restored.A blind tramp was also restored his sight at this well. He too had travelled a long distance to the well.The Monk and the tramp when they found that their eyesight was restored sang songs on thanksgiving to Our Blessed Lady. Hence the well is known as Tobar na n-Amhrán or the Well of the Songs. =Thomas Sheehan (Farmer)
