  1. A Great Dancer

    Share Share Post
    There lived a great dancer called Patrick Fogarty in Borrisoleigh about seventy years ago. He beat many people dancing.
    He won many prizes. His greatest victory was at a race in Norwood near Nenagh where he won from forty others.
    He afterwards went to America and died there.
