- The famine was not so bad in this Parish as in other places as the railway was being made through the parish in black forty seven. All the working people were able to earn the price of meal. A man named Maguire lived where Matt Kiernan's cottage now is. His daughter was sick and was longing for a potato. The poor man walked to Trim, paid five shillings for two stones of potatoes and carried them home and they cured his daughter.
