When the water was boiling she put the pound of tea into the pot. After a while she said to her husband "Bedad Pat, it'll never thicken"There is a story told among the older people that at the end of the world the old dis-used grinding mill below the cross roads in Ballymakenny will be "worked with the blood of the Irish"NOTE.
