- " Báistfidh mé mo leanbh féin ar dtúis ansan sagart. "
There were three children born together and the priest took one of them and when he was baptising them he was in a hurry because they were weak and he said " I will christen my own child first " and that means do you own work first and then help your neighbour if you have time. It was in Bunán at the other side of Cnoc Buide this incident happened. The child adopted by the priest became St. Fiacna of Teampaillín Fiacna. This sean-fhocal is commonly used in this locality.
