   Not much is known about Poets in this district (Maughanaclea and Coosane) except that the following poets lived in Coosane a townland 2 miles east of this school. The following are their names:- "Farrel the Rake" Dan Mac Carthy Owen O Sullivan (lived alos in Kealkil) Jerry O'Sullivan (lived also in Kealkil) The local poet Jerry O'Sullivan (Related to O'Sullivan Beare) composed a Poem called:- Slán le Carraigh na Caolcoilleac / Good Bye to Kealkil Rock - There is really a large Rock in Kealkil Village called quite commonly "the Rock". He also composed a song called "the White Horse" - Nobody in this school district has the words - but I imagine the song may be sent in, in THE CAPPARBOY N.S. RECORDS of Béaloideas. The words of Slán le Carraigh na Caolcoilleac are contained under the heading Amráin - further out in the book.
