- At one time there lived in Ballinadee a priest whose name was Fr. Simon Murphy. He had a dog called "Flora". One day the priest was out walking and Flora along with him. The Ballinadee neighbourhood at that time was not a very wealthy locality. Fr. Simon addressed the following to his dog."Flora eirig abhaile
Tá'n bóthar fada is bheidh adhar ort
Mar tá go leór de scróllai magaidh
Ag bóthar Bhaile na Daibhce."---------------------------Seo seana-chainnt eile i dtaobh na dúthchaighe cheadna:-
"Baile na Daibhche
Baile gan reimhse."---------------------------- Bhí cailín ann uair agus níor lobháil a h'athair di pósadh i rith na h-Inide. Bhí sí ag fághail lochta air mar gheall ar sinn agus seo mar a labhair sé léi.
"Eist a chailín, mar níl ach prátaí a chur agus prátaí a bhaint agus beidh an Inid arís ann."
