  1. There was a man who was born in Cloncullen and who is now seventy years of age - stil hale and hearty. Not many years ago he often walked from his home to Limerick and back again and the same day was fit to start for Carrigaholt and back.
    He was such a famous walker and did such long journeys on foot that he is named the Hare Costelo.
    I have also heard of a great dancer who is now dead named O'Brien - he had five medals won at Feishes in different places and a few years before he died he was teaching Irish dances.
    He was instructing his classes when he fel ill.
