    the police went away a neighbouring man named Roger Hennessy took Scully on his back to Limerick Jumction where he boarded the train for home
    He never troubled the farmers of Ballycohey afterwards. They all went back to their homes and are living there yet.
    Michael O'Dwyer died about forty years ago and was buried in Sologhead.
    The people of the place erected a monument in memory of him.
    There was a song composed about this, part of which is:
    "Did you hear of Willy Scully"
    Says the Sean bhean bhocht,
    "And the boys of Ballycohey"
    Says the Sean bhean bhocht,
    "We killed a bailiff at the door
    And a peeler on the floor
    And we thought we had killed more"
    Says the Sean bhean bhocht
