- (continued from previous page)and as the Saint was passing the stone cutters were amusing themselves prodding it with the red-hot chisel points. When the Saint saw this he was enraged. He turned upon them, rebuked them for their cruel conduct and cursed them, wishing that a Foynes stone-cutter might never have a day's luck and that every stone cutter who would live there till the end of time would be afflicted with a burning thirst as a punishment for the burning that those cruel men were giving the donkey.Hence it is said that ever since the Foynes stone-cutters are cursed with the vice of drunkeness which has reduced them then to misfortune and misery.This story was got by Eoin Curran.
From Mr. Tom (?),
Stonecutter,
Barrack's Cross,
Foynes.
