| | An Caislean B&B - Carrick-on-Suir - The People of Carrick-on-Suir |
 | | The group comprised of Paddy (1922-98), Tom (1923-90) and Liam Clancy, three of nine children, from Carrick-on Suir, Co. Tipperary and Tommy Makem of Keady, Co. Armagh. |
 | | Crotty flourished about the commencement of George the Third's reign, and was the forerunner of the Tipperary highwaymen, Brennan and "Captain" Trant, as well as of their Kilkenny counterpart "Captain" Freney, whose "Life and Adventures," as recorded in his autobiography, afforded excitable reading to at least two generations of law-detesting Irish boys. |
 | | Crotty, however, must have been the most defiant and powerful of those law-breakers, for while they operated singly, or with a few temporary confederates, he was the leader of a numerous body of desperate associates, who came and went at his command. |
