Clancy a very hold priest who lived in the Racepark.A woman brought a sick child to him to cure. When she came to the priest's house she was told that he was dead. She took his dead hand and made the sign of the cross, saying "What Fr. Clancy can do living he can do dead". In the name of the Father, etc. The child was cured immediately.Another man was brought from Broughal to be cured of paralysis.
