    My home district is Birdhill. Birdhill tradition tells us gets its name from an incident that happened in the dim and almost forgotten past. A hermit the story runs - lived in a cave on the side of the hill that overlooks the village.
    One day a crowd of wild birds rose from some place near Killaloe, and flew in the direction of the hermit's cave. The hermit took out bow and arrow and killed one of them. Thus Birdhill got its name.
    It is a small village of about sixty people and is situated on the main road between Limerick and Dublin and the train passes
