<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>"In 1670 there were eight bells
which were recast in 1863. Strangely most of these bells were sent as
gifts to various churches around the country (Irvinestown, Co. Fermanagh;
St Bartholomew, Belfast, Co. Down; Kenmare and Killonglin, Co. Kerry;
Killaney, Co. Down and St Columbanus', Ballyholme, Co. Down) leaving only
the third and tenor in Dublin."</FONT></DIV>
