- John Horan was the poet around here long ago. He lived here himself, and his mother about twenty years ago. They toured all North Clare. He composed a song about St. Brigids well, another scenery on the cliffs of Moher, another about Dr. Foster of Lisdoonvarna.
All the ballads he had were in English.
The song which he composed about Dr. Foster was a description to the poor. He payed his bord in summer time in Lisdoonvarna, and Winter he moved around the country from Doolin to Ballyvaughan..
