- (continued from previous page)And the Galtee hills so high
Rising gently to the sky,
That sheltered many a boy
Of the outlawed clan.
- Gilmartin, an N.T. who lived in Ballylanders Co Limk. about 60 years ago made five or six beautiful poems in praise of the Galtees.
James Carroll already mentioned and known as Jimmy from Limerick composed a beautiful poem on The Galtee Boy; John Sarsfield Casey of Mitchelstown Co. Cork. "The Galtee Boy" wrote on the Sentinal, a paper published in Mitchelstown by John V. Kiely, Barnagurraha, Anglesboro'. "The Galtee Boy" wrote on the condition of the tenants on the Galtee Estate owned by Buckley.
He suffered a term of imprisonment on account of his connection with the Land League. (This will be seen in more detail later).
