    When Mobane Church was going to be built, the chief of the district, Brian O Neill (supposed to be the brother of the great Aodh O Néill) took the Arch-bishop on a visit to select a site for a church, a suitable distance from Creggan where the parish church was.
    The Arch-Bishop selected a spot behind Mrs Tom Luckie's in Mobane and asked for a table so that he might bless the spot and give Benediction. Brian O'Neill was absent and when he arrived he saw the Arch-Bishop with the Blessed Sacrament. He was offended because the Arch-Bishop selected the site without consulting him and he rushed to the table and was in such a rage that he slapped the Arch-Bishop in the face and taking up the table, carried it to Mobane. All followed him but the Arch-Bishop predicted that the O'Neills would lose their dignity and power and would become extinct.
