“Ulick Keirns, a neighbouring poet was once lived back from the chapel door in Castleisland”
Ulick Kerins, a neigbouring poet was once turned back from the chapel door in Castleisland by the P.P. as he hadn't a copper to throw on the table. He turned back and this is what he said to the people coming in:
"Brostuighidh, a bhuachaillí, Anso atá an margadh,Aifreann Dé á dhíol ar leath phingne "
