    This man was at the building of the new school at Walterstown. One Sunday Father Ried was reading the names off the Altar of those who were drawing sand to the school for the building. After the names were read out, Mickey shouted up "What about the Daveys of Knock island?" "What about them Mickey," says the Priest. They gave no butter to the men in their colcannon of Hallow Eve Night," says Mickey.
