    Tradition has it that Sarsfield passed this way after the Battle of Aughrim and buried one of his men in the area.

    St Patrick is also said to have been in the area.

    Is Ferdia buried at Ardee Co Louth? Apparently that's where the battle between him and Cu Cullainn occurred. Ardee is also known as Ferdia's Fort, so I presume they have some heritage based there..

    You can't say Ardee without saying Ardee hey.

    Ironically Waterford has had similar problems purely because of someone from Galway.

    You have my sympathy.

    One of the worst offenders here 'discovered' limestone, bog and bog cotton here. I expect next he will discover rain.
