- About six months ago in "Toorárd" there was a man in bed whose name was Michael Garvey. In the middle of the night he heard two dogs barking on the road which was a few yards from the door. He could not sleep with them barking and fighting. His own dog was inside in the house and he was barking too. Michael got up but he did not put his clothes on him. The first thing he did was to get a shovel from near the door. He then opened the door and his own dog would not pass the door step when he saw the other two dogs on the road.
