“Long ago in Knockerra there lived a man named Dan Troy and he was going with the fairies.”
Long ago in Knockerra there lived a man named Dan Troy and he was going with the fairies. He spent his time working at Patrick Howard's in Larman (?). One day he was out working in the garden with Patrick Howard and he fell down in the garden laughing and Patrick Howard asked him what was he laughing at and he said we have another horse for to night and on that day there was races at Milltown Malloy and there was a horse killed in a race and he said that was their horse anymore.
