- Once there lived in Faha a man named O'Dwyer. One day he wanted to go to Limerick for a bag of flour. He had no horse or car and so he stole an ass from a neighbor. When he had gong the owner had found out what happened and followed him.
He met him coming out four miles outside Limerick. There and then he took the ass off him and rode home. O'Dwyer then put the bag on his back and carried it to Faha. He is dead about twenty years and there is a man named Martin Woods living in his house.
