from the Paranormal Database:
John Kelleher captured a leprechaun under a rock near the summit of Mushera mountain, and agreed only to let the creature go if it gave him a purse of coins. The little man told Kelleher that if he dug where he stood, he would find the purse. Kelleher let the leprechaun go, stuck a stick in the ground to mark the position and went home to find a shovel. Returning a short time later, the man found hundreds of identical sticks all stuck in the earth around the area. (the date of this is unkown)

As if we didn’t already know the extraordinary lengths Seán Radley goes to when it comes to Millstreet, its history, and helping visitors to our town: the Roberts family were here in 2012 have written about their day in Millstreet:
“Sean taught us a bit of Gaelic as he dropped us off: “Slan Abhale” or “Come again!” I hope we can take him up on it. As I stood in the cool, gray air on the train platform, I took the time to reflect on our adventure, that had given us such a genuine Irish experience where we could explore a small town off the beaten path and get a small glimpse into how our family might have once lived.”
