- Mc Mahon the poet lived in Ballagh for the last twenty years and wrote several poems. The manufacturers of Hibernian Manure offered a prize of three pounds to anyone who could depict some scene which might be used as an advertisement for their product. Several tried but none of them was as good as Mc Mahon. He died on the 27th of last October 1937 and he was about seventy six years of age when he died and he was a loss to Ballagh. This is the poem that won the prize for him.
