   wonder, said the priest, that he was left the use of his right hand to bless his face, for it was the right hand he had condemned.

   The hermit used to bathe his sore feet in the well. And the cattle of a neighbouring farmer drank of the same water. One day the woman, who owned the cattle, saw the saint bathing his feet and scolded him for dirtying the water from which her cattle drank. She ordered him away. It was then that St Moling left Mullinakill and went to abide in Saint Mullins Co Carlow. But the woman soon found, what a great mistake she had made in ordering the holy man away. For her cows, which up to that had given an abundance of milk now scarcely gave any milk at all.

   
   Pilgrimages are still made to Mullinakill every year. A Patron is held there in the month of August. The sick, the lame and cripples are brought to drink the water from the holy well, over which an ash tree is growing. People leave bits of sticks or cloth hanging on the tree.
