- About twenty years ago, a poor woman (Mrs Ryan) from Curreeny, who was regarded as an illiterate, was going to the village of Dundrum in Co. Tipperary. About a mile from Dundrum there is a district called Mount Garbery and when she was passing through it she says to her companions, “well now we cannot be very far from Dundrum for we’re now going through Mount Calvary”.
