Michael Hogan, the self-styled Bard of Thomond's best-known epic poem, running to 445 lines, is 'The Drunken Thady and the Bishop's Lady,' which tells the tale of the vengeful wife of the Bishop of Limerick and the night she met the drunk known as Thady.
The 'Bishop's Lady' led a life of vice and while alive she roamed the city streets picking fights. After her death, she continued her malicious ways.
The 'Drunken Thady' was a ne'er-do-well from Thomondgate who would drink himself into a stupor while evading the police.
One night, while Thady was on his way home, he met the bishop's wife who intended to take him to hell. She managed to toss him over the Thomond Bridge and he landed in the river. Thady repented and begged God's forgiveness, vowing to live peacefully if his life was spared. His life was spared Thady was no longer the Drunken Thady.
