- There is an old path leading from the Kilrush main road down by Costello's, Shea Nugents and coming out at Neylons. It is a short cut for the people of Darragh coming to Ballyea school and Chapel. Mr Kelly who lived in Killglassey wanted to make a public road of it. There was a short cut from the Curragh road near the Kilrush main road to Newhall. Police took "poteen", from a man named Darcy. A mob followed them and as soon as they came to the stile a police fired at Darcy and shot him.
- A hundred years ago the Government died so as to give work to the poor people of Ireland. One path I know of starts from Darragh to Caherea and the name of it is (?) path way. There is one path through Knockanaire. This is a short cuts from Baherea down to Ballyea with years.
