Ballycar, Cuinche  [duchas:5177281]

had already heard his friend was very ill and when he was approaching the house of the sick man he heard great crying. Thinking the man was dead, O Dea was doubtful of entering the house especially when he had not called sooner to see the sick man. Still as he came so far O Dea said to himself that he may as well call to sympathise. Entering the house O Dea found the man alive but not too well. He inquired of the people of the house if they were crying, and they told him they were not. A few days afterwards the man died. It was the beanshee O Dea heard.
