  1. There was once a man named Mr Bleak in the time if De Burca and he owned the Galway house. De Burca took over the Galway house. De Burca took all the good places around Shrule. There used to be races in Shrule. There was a man named Kirwan in Dalgan. This man was very rich. Kirwan and De Burca met at the races. De Burca bet all his land and money that this certain horse would win. Kirwan won the bet and Kirwan grew better and better and ruled the land around Shrule.
