- (continued from previous page)"Like aged Brian taught the robber horde
The offended justice of the patriot's sword".
Another of the famous Raparees, "Galloping O'Hogan" who was a gallant and hardy fighter spent some time around the "Doon" hills. He warned Sarsfield of the advance of the siege train to the beleagued city of Limerick. The vigilant Raparee while hastening himself to Limerick despatched a trusty follower to summon "Ned of the Hill" to his aid.
On his historical ride to "Ballyneety" which is about seven miles from "Doon" Sarsfield passed through village of Doon.
Red Hugh O'Donnell also passed through "Doon" on his way to "Kinsale" after spending a night in "Holy Cross Abbey" near "Thurles".
