  1. An old man named James Sexton of Rath Doonogan told me that when he was a boy he heard of faction fights in Mullagh. The following families took part in the fights:- Looneys, Sextons and Darcys.
    James Sexton is eighty six years of age and he says these fights took place about a hundred years ago.
    He gave me a verse about a great fight that took place on a St. Patrick's Day.
    This is the verse he gave me:-
    Maidin lá 'le Pádraig
    Thárla d'éirigh bruighean
    Idir Lúnaigh agus Seasnaig
    Gan tráct ar na Dorchaidhe
    Bhí Liamín - Liam, sa "party" ann
    Seán Pádraig is Liam Mhicil
    Do ghlanadar an bheárna
    Agus thugadar an lámh cuig na Dorcaidhe

    Nuala Ní Shandair, Fionór Mór
    Séamas O Seasnáin, Ráth, Dúnogáin a thug an scéal sin dom
