Pronsius and Kay-dah

Michael Tiernan of Mahanagh Drumshanbo says
Pronsius lived around here (Drumshanbo) and he was a noted robber. Later he gave up robbery and lived in a little house on the Furnace Hill.
One day he went into Padraig More the payments of the Iron Works.
Padraig owned the first public house in Drumshanbo. It was a thatched house and stood where Cooney's Hotel is today. Pronsius probably went in for a drink. Padraig was counting the money for the men's pay and he had the gold in a sieve.
Once of your time Pronsius it would not be safe to let you see so much money or you'd do your best to have a few hundred of it.
I could and yet says Pronsius
You could not says Padraig.
Pronsius has a "moueen" (maoilín) hand and with that he made a dive at Padraig with it.
Padraig fell back to the ground in fear.
