- There are many poets in our district. One was James Carmody Ennismore. Usually when he was at work he used make these poems. James Carmody died in the year 1936 and was a poet since he was young. He was a farmer and is buried at Listowel. The people liked him very well and he was welcomed everywhere he went. He was also a great story teller. These poems were written in English as the poet himself did not know any Irish.
These poems or songs were written down but they were never sung locally. There was also a very good poet from Banmore who worked in this district named Patrick O Connor. He wrote many songs one of which is in memory of George Hewson. There are some of his songs sung yet.- Collector
