    teacher, a spalpeen, and he often went to Limerick and Tipperary looking for work.
    One day Eoghan mitched from school and when he went to school the following day the master asked him why he stayed away. He answered him in poetry, and in the end of every verse was:- "Sin mar a chaitheas-sa féin mo lá".
    In his old age he was teaching in a school at Knocknagree-Cross (Co. Cork) and he was staying in a house at Faran Caol (Knocknagree, Co. Cork) and it was in that house he died, and he was buried either in Muckross Abbey (Killarney) or in Nohovaldaly (Rathmore, Kerry)
