“There is a monument in College Green...”
There is a monument in College Green of Sir Walter Grey. There is also another of King Billy. This time time there was great trouble in the country. One night King Billy got down from his horse and went over to Sir Walter Grey who was on his own horse and said to him "what way were the times going now". Sir Walter Grey answered "run back to your horse as quickly as you can or a Cork man will be on your horse when you will reach him".
