- I went a few evenings ago to a man whose name is John McLaughlin. I asked him did he know of any folklore. He told me he did He is over 90 years of age. He lives in Drumaweir. He told me how Ballybrack got its name. This is what he said. One time there was a man in Drumaweir and he had an old horse and he called him Ballymore and from that on that is how Ballybrack got its name. The old man told me that man came in the time of the war. The man faces the south of the world.
