    Share Share Post
    During "Ninety - Eight," the Wexford women and children from around John St., used to hide in John Street fountain. One day the English were attacking the fountain. The women broke down the wall and flooded the place. Several of the English soldiers were drowned. One of them was a man named General Mc Mahon.
