  1. The only poet that Mrs Connelly remembers of this district was Sonny Byrne, of the Hills. He composed a song about Patrick Murtagh, who owed him sixpence.
    We have already referred to Thomas Carroll the poet who composed the lovely poem about Hampton Hall Green.
    There is a man named Dinny Neary who lives in the Man-O-War. He composed a very funny song about Rogan's Motor Car.
