  1. My Father Jame's O Connell told me the following story
    Robert Mc Auliffe still living in Killbrin had a puck goat about 20 years ago and every day he would go into Father Mc Carthy's vegetables and eat them. One day Priesty Mc Auliffe and the priest himself were hunting the puck out of the garden and he ran around the chapel. The Priest went around the back of the chapel to stop him and Priesty went the other way and when the priest came round to the chapel door he asked Priesty "where was the puck now, Priesty answered" "he is gone to the devil entirely now Father he is gone into the chapel."
