   3. One local poet was Tim Meagher who lived in Roo, in the parish of Drom, Co. Tipperary. This poet lived about eighty years ago, and he was buried about thirty years ago. He composed a song about "The March to Clonakenny." There was a man named Ned Delany and his cattle were seized for not paying his rates and they were all imprisoned in a place called "The Pound." There was a quarrel over this and soldiers and people marched to Clonakenny to return the cattle to Ned Delany. In English most of the poets composed their poems.
