    and they were both Ó Sullivan's. This is how it began: - There was a fair in Eyries and the uncle and nephew were together selling cattle.

On their journey home they got drunk and and a big argument arose between them They got two pistols and marked out a certain distance. Then they both fired and the uncle shot the nephew.

    Long ago a man was dying and he called his wife and asked her for one request.

    Long ago a man was dying and he called his wife and asked her for one request. She was a woman that was not pleased with but she said that she would do what she wanted. He told her to bring in a big stone. She did it and when she came in he told her to sit down on it until he would tell her get up. She was not long sitting down when she fell dead. He said that if she didn't die she would be married again in three weeks.
