One day long ago there was a man from "Trinnse beag" drunk. The Police arrested him and asked him his name and address. He said that he was Jonnie Griffin from Trinnse beag. They asked him to spell Trinnse beag but he said that he did not know how. Then they asked him what was the next village to Trinnse beag, and he said that it was Tón-na-nGeirrfiadh. They said that they never heard of such a place and they had to let him from when they couldn't find out his adress.
In Clooneygrassson about two miles from this school there is a certain bush called "Egan's Bush". It is so called because a man named Egan died under that bush.
