- By the side of the River on the Leinster side is the Cholera Ground where it is said large numbers were laid to rest when that disease visited our shores. It was an extension of the town Cemetery and the local poet in his musings drew attention of the fact to many who were otherwise unaware of the story, when he wrote
What are these grassy mounds fast by the river
O'er which no sheltering leaf shadows quiver
But where the night wind a wail doth deliver
Mournful and weird as a funeral cry?
Where rankest weeds and bright verdure are growing
Commingled, a type of humanity showing
The pure and the vile all cut down in the mowing
Nurtured alike by the earth, air and sky?(leanann ar an chéad leathanach eile)
