  2. Father Brian Quillan

    Share Share Post
    In my first book Padraig Mac Giolla [?] and others gave stories about Fr Brian. Padraig told in one of these that once when the priest was coming home after 'settling' evil spirits he told the people that the red one 'done'for him. Padraic knew no more about it, but that the priest died soon after.
    I made several enquiries and at last I got the story from P. ODolain Coolcor. Jan. 1937.
