    There was a splendid singer in the district of Ballina one time - she was a Mrs Morgan. Another great singer was a Mrs Moloney. She died later in America. Sentimental songs were mostly sung by them. Rebecca Hurley, also of this district was a beautiful step-dancer and won all the championships of the country. John Ryan or Johnny the dancer as he was called lived near Portroe and was a noted step-dancer. Another noted character was "Kenny the Sweep" as he was called and he prided himself on being a gteat boxer. Matt McGrath
