I’ve recorded the name Tom Poors Quay before as part of a blog on the Lightermen . I had heard it called Lighterman’s Quay in Cheekpoint although it does not seem to have been called by this elsewhere. In Ballyhack the name Tom Poor is common…and most are of the opinion that poor refers to the norman era surname Power, or perhaps it’s Irish variation – de Paor.
Interestingly when I posted the video Sheila O’Hanlon commented on Facebook that she was born down Nuke Lane and that she remembered it called Tom Post Quay!
