  1. Rossfriar and the Monks

    Share Share Post
    This story was told to me by Mr Joseph McGloin an old man, eighty years of age, who spent his life in Tullaghan as a publican. His ancestors were big land owners around Tullaghan, long ago, but during the Penal Days, they lost their lands.
    Joseph McGloin got the story from his grandfather - a very old man.
    I got the self same story from Antony Farrell in 1922. Mr Farrell lives in Gubanna-Mena Buckode, Kinlough. His father was a great story-teller and lived to be a very old man (about 90 years).
