  1. He prophecied that there would be a coach without horses in Ireland. He prophecied also that the news would come on the top of the sticks, and that the houses would be built on the tops of the hills, and that the father would deny his own son and that the son would deny his father. He prophecied that the first train that would go down to Achill would carry a cargo of corpses and that the same train would carry another cargo of corpses for the last time.
