  1. A Story

    Share Share Post
    Pat Mahony took cattle out to Clare for Mr. Hart. When he was coming home he was tired and dry. He went into this little house. When there was an old woman in the corner and she said welcome Paddy Mahony from Ballyvarra and sit down a wait for your dinner. "No" said Paddy I'll get my dinner in Limerick. Wisha you can't have much of dinner in Limerick and you only having ten pence in your pocket. It is a true story of Biddy Early.
