    I'm sure some of the bank futher up the mountain got washed in with some fencing. Yes, that's it, the river bank. Nobody would question such a likely story. Muhahahahaha..........I mean, um, eh, .........(sound of running, door slams).:D
    p.s. I think it's "Pol an Ease" or something like that. I remember being disappointed years ago finding out it wasn't spelt the way it was pronounced.

    well cull a cnoic ,no that post wasnt any way insulting to aughavas, because i have land there, pullin ass is a waterfall in aughnasheelin, the mountain side of ballinamore,
    aughnasheelin is a parish made up entirely of waste (scrub) land, and the people there call themselves neddies, i am aware of this inside information on this area and its people, because my auntie was unlucky enough to end up marriied to a man from that parish,
    this will also give you an inside view on what kiltubrid thinks of neddyville, so basically aparts from the beutiful water fall with the barbwire in the bottom of the pond ,pullinass is in the middle of a desert, known as aughnasheelin or locally as neddynille

    But I should win a prize, I am the one of the last original Leitrim People.
    I was born in 1979 in the Hospital in Manorhamilton just days before it became an old people’s home. At the time that was the last hospital in the County so everyone born after me (apart from home births ) were born in Sligo, Cavan or Roscommon.
