    Long ago there were old men who used to compose poetry and songs all around Oughterard.
    Some of the composers of songs were Andrew Darcy from Magheramore Oughterard, Mick Kennavey from Portacarron, Willie Carr from Old Chapel and James Gavin from Old Town Moycullan.
    The songs which Andrew Darcy compose were about Paddy Gavin Magheramore. This is part of the song which he composed.
