“Brian Sweeney of the old chapel, was going to get the blind pension...”
Brian Sweeney of the Old Chapel, was going to get the blind pension, and one day the Inspector came in. Brian was sitting near the fire when he came in. The Inspector took a book out of his pocket and he said to Brian "I dont see your name here atal". Brian jumped from the fire and looked at the book. He shouted "look at my name there." Three days after he got a letter from Dublin saying he would not get the blind pension because he could see his name.
