Long ago there lived a man over in Mike Griffins Sliabh. His troubles were that anyone wouldn't come to his funeral. He was dying and he sent for the priest. The priest came and he heard his Confession and gave him holy Communion. He told the priest he was afraid anyone would not come in his funeral. The priest told him not to be troubled that there would be a big crowd in his funeral. The man died and there were only two or three in his funeral. As they were passing along to the graveyard in Coillíneach all the sheep followed them and waited by the Grave until the Ceremonies were over.
