“John Daly lives in Ballynacorky.”
John Daly lives in Ballynacorky. One day some years ago as he was cutting timber in Baraonstown in the middle of the oak tree he found a wooden chalice and a bit of timber cut in the shape of a heart. He still has them. I saw them last Sunday. He said they must have been there since the penal times, because priests used to say mass under the tree which is called the mass tree.
