- I am living in Cappantimore. There are only three houses in the district of Cappantimore There were a lot of houses there long ago At that time most of the houses were thatched and then the bad times came and they were all knocked. To the north of my house is the Windy Gap. Near this there is a King's grave. He was Griffin, king of Connaught and High King of Ireland. On his way south to Limerick he was poisoned by his sister to get the throne for her son.
- The townland that I live in is called Pass. It is in the Parish of Meelick. It is in the Barony of Lower Bunratty.
