    Seán Reilly
    A man named Seán Reilly once lived in Drinagh. He used to go around to the people's houses to get his "bit". He was noted for praying for the opposite to what he meant.
    One day he came to Mrs Morris' house for bread. She gave him a piece of a cake which she had baked. When she gave him the bread she told him to pray for her. So he started to pray. "Well," he said, that all sorts of good luck may never meet you! That you or anyone belong to you may never enter the Kingdom of Heaven! and he went away.
