“There is a church not far from Tinahely.”
There is a Church not far from Tinahely. In the penal days it was taken from the Catholics. Every year at a certain time a Priest is supposed to be seen walking around the Church. There was a family named Driver who hunted the Priest and killed him and ate his heart. They were eating their dinner one day when one of them choked and died. It was said after that all their family died quickly.
