 One such relates how the Lord Justice of Ireland, Risteárd de Tiúit, went to Athlone, with the intention of sending his brothers to Limerick, Waterford, and Wexford, that he himself might reside in Dublin and Athlone (alternately); but it happened, through the miracles of God, St Peter and St Ciarán, that some of the stones of the castle of Athlone fell upon his head, killing him, his priest and a number of his people.Another story is that he blessed a well so that “it had the taste of wine or honey for everyone who drank it got drunk as well as filled”.Folklore also relates many charming tales of St Ciarán's influence on wild animals.
