There is a well above in Boulia, and it is a holy one. It is called Tobar Muire. Once a man put down the water for tea it was down about an hour and it never boiled when he looked at it, it was as cold as it was before. Another man came to it as his leg was broken, when he had his prayers said he was cured that minute. People put flowers and other decoration there, inorder to get cured. The well never gets dry and it overflows at twelve o clock on New Years night.
