  1. Once upon a time two great walkers challenged each other to walk to Dublin
    Their names were Cleary and Corcoran. One morning they began at six o clock and Corcoran was in Dublin at nine. Corcoran was coming home at about three o clock he met Cleary out side the city going in. Corcoran won the championship of this Parish that time. His discendants are still alive and one of them named James Corcoran was a great athleet and got many prizes for running.
