- The following story was told to me by my mother.
Shebeens are shops in which drinks such as porter, whiskey and other drinks are sold unknown to the government. There was one in Carraig. On the night the "Colleen Bawn" was killed, the man who killed her was drinking in there. When he was drunk he forced the "Cooleen Bawn" to go out boating with him.
She consented to go with him. When they were out as far as Carraig a Holt he killed her and throw her into the sea.
