There is also a monster in Lake Champlain called "Champy".

I e-mailed the Bord Fáilte in Kilrossanty. They actually e-mailed me back, but said they weren't aware of the legend. I don't think the posting to the Wexford?localireland woll pan out either. I do have a friend that as well as being a great traditional musician and singer is also a librarian. I'll ask him how we might pursue this.

I just wanted to say, you've done some great work researching the background on the song. That should make this easy if the information is out there.

Go raibh míle maith agat agus beidh mé ag caint aríst.
