    About 40 years ago the fathers of the present black-smiths were put to jail for not shoeing the horses of Mrs Burdette Moroney the landlady of that time who was boycotted and J.D. Sullivan the great poet wrote a song about them by the name of Three Brave Blacksmiths.
    I Verse
    Three brave blacksmiths down in County Clare,
    Wouldn't shoe a grabber's horse wouldn't shoe his mare.
    They wouldn't take his money for his threats they didn't care
    They'd rather go unshod themselves than shame the County Clare.
