Walsh Farm, Knockahoney, County Sligo

John Walsh married Bridget Cawley, the farm girl next door.  The following video is of the Walsh property in Knockahoney, County Sligo.  It is presently owned by Patrick O'Hara, greatgrandson of John Walsh and Bridget Cawley.  He currently uses the fields for hay which he cuts and bails and brings to his own farm in another townland.  No one lives on the "Walsh Farm" anymore.  Patrick graciously took my husband and me to visit the old homestead when we visited Ireland this past summer.
