    Patrick Tunney composed many songs. He composed a song about Codse Muigeo. Patrick Tunney was a farmer and a fradesman. The poets composed all the songs in English. Some of the poets couldnt read or write because there was no schools at their time. There was an old man long ago who could hunt rats from houses but I dont know his name.
