Did you know that President Barack Obama's great great great grandfather, Falmouth Kearney, emigrated from Moneygall to New York City at the age of 19 in 1850 and eventually resettled in Tipton County, Indiana? Kearney's father had been the village shoemaker, then a wealthy skilled trade. Moneygall is a small village in County Offaly, Ireland, It has a population of approximately 300 people. Moneygall has a Roman Catholic church, five shops, a post office, a national school, a police station and two pubs (of course). And now for the SONG. See lyrics below. Watch the video and you'll have to smile and also admire the new President also for his sense of humor that we catch glimpses of in the video. http://www.oneeyedparrot.org/obama.html
