    I am indebted to Mrs McMahon of Dian for the following reference to the age of the “Cailleach Bhiorra”
    Dubhairt fear aosta éigean rud fán a aois agus seo thíos an freagra a thug an Cailleach Bhiorra air.
    Mar é caide tá ionnat ach nuarachán garúra ,
    Trí chéud bliadhain roimhe le do bhreith
    Bhí mise ag imirt iomám le camán i gCondae Thír Eoghain.
