"Botheration!" muttered Peter, "is it deaf I'm growing?" But that could not be, for he heard the sighing of the breeze and the rush of the neighbouring Liffey plain enough. "Well," said he, in the same cautious key, "by the piper, this bangs Banagher fairly!
"Though the vain, silly ould crayture bate Banagher for flirtin' an', indade, bates ivviry other of her sex, God bless 'em, that I've ivver clapt eyes on yet that quare little Frenchy chap, her husband, he, the little sparrow, must neades git jallous, an' makes out it's all my fault, an', belave me, a nice toime I had o' it altogether.
There are many other examples, some of a later date, such as Temple Cronan and Maghera and Banagher in Derry, St. Finan's oratory in county Cork, St. Fechin's at Fore, and St. Molaise's at Devenish.
I anticipate the remarks you would subsequently make, which the graver Indian would have politely repressed: "By my patience, this bangs Banagher, and exhausts credulity.

'Pull away, boys, and put Paddy ashore, and maybe we won't get a good bellyful before long.
There has taken place a great change in Ireland since the days in which I lived at Banagher, and a change so much for the better, that I have sometimes wondered at the obduracy with which people have spoken of the permanent ill condition of the country. Wages are now nearly double what they were then.
