    There are few blessed in Ennistymon but the principal ones are St. Brigid's well, St. Craven's and St. Joseph's. St Brgid's well is situated about three miles outside the town. St. Craven's well is situated on the Lisdoonvarna road. People have special days for going to the wells. They go to St. Brigid's well on the first of February and they wash their eyes with the water and if they see an eel in the water they are sure to be cured. A statue was left at the well by Mrs. Healy New Road, Ennistymon. People visit St. Craven's well every Thursday and Sunday. This water cures sore eyes. There are no special prayers to be said
