- (continued from previous page)A church he built, he toiled & prayed,
And spread true wisdom's lore
HIs presence sanctified the scene
Molaga - of Bremore

And tho Lannbeiler by the sea is crumbling in decay
Molaga's name thro' famed Fingal
Is oft recalled to day
Balbriggan town its tribute pays
To this great Saint of Yore
Its Hampton Terrace bears his name
Molaga of Bremore.
