  1. The Brogue

    Share Share Post
    Once upon a time when Saint Patrick was travelling through Ireland being very tired he lay down to rest on the border between Cork and Kerry.
    Two working men, one from each county thought they would play a joke on the Saint as he slept. They took of his sandals and put one in each county.
    When St. Patrick woke he was angry and said that from now on, no Cork or Kerry man would be without a 'brogue' on his foot and a 'brogue' on his tongue.
