It was a folklore collecting project organised by the Irish Folklore Commission.
One of the entries deals with the tradition of the Holy Well at Castleventry, Rossmore.
Written by Willie Coghlan, Clashatarrif, Rossmore it reads:-
“There are many holy wells in this country. There is one in Castleventry. It is beside the graveyard. It is like an ordinary well. It is round and a flat stone covers it. The well is not a deep one. It is said that there is a cure in the water of this well. It is said that sight was restored to a person who lived in the same townland long ago. It is sometimes called Trinity Well. Many people visit it on Trinity Sunday. They bring flowers or other things to the well. They also pray at this time.

Poor Clares Vocations Afternoon - Sat 28 June 2025This year marks 99 years since it began with the first Procession in the Cork city streets taking place on 6 June 1926 where tens of thousands of people participated.
The idea of taking the Procession through the streets of Cork emerged in the years after the War of Independence and the Civil War in a bid to heal division.
The Procession will commence at 3pm from the Cathedral of Saint Mary and Saint Anne. A number of additions have been made to the Procession this year.
To facilitate the increasing numbers taking part each year, the liturgy and benediction of the Blessed Sacrament will take place on a specifically erected stage and altar on the Grand Parade.
Music is a big part of the procession so we have invited the choirs and music groups from the parishes in the city and beyond to participate. The procession will be led by the Butter Exchange band.
