    Dempsey was - he was known and is still remembered by "Paddy Big John" or Big Paddy. His feats and experiences alone would easily fill this Book but more of him anon.
    From right here in the spot went forth one "Michel" Donohoe to fight in the Battle of Arklow. He was most severely wounded in the leg by a bullet wound.
    He was brought home to Killencooley (about a mile from here) and nursed in a cabin in a field that then as now was known as Biddy Wall's field.
    He was afterwards attended by a Dr Greene of Ballinclash Blackwater. The Dr. used to keep his wound clean by running a clean silk cloth through the wound.
