    Killaloe, Mat and Jim were very sgtrong men and it would be no bother to them to mow an acre of hay in one day with a scythe.
    The only noted story-teller that I have heard of was the late Jeremiah O'Brien, Garronboy, Killaloe.
    One great singer was Alfred Hurly of Killaloe. He took it up as a profession and was very successful. He is now in a large touring company in London. Another noted family of singers were the Mackey family.
