Many young people remember the man who was buried in Ballybuggy churchyard last. His name was Michael Feehan. After this man was buried the churchyard was shut and no body else would be buried in it.
There is a blessed tree situated very near this school. There was a well in it and it is said that a woman washed her clothes in it and it dried up. This well sprang up in a place about a quarter of a mile away from this tree. When funerals are passing they always stop to say the De Profundis.
