In Cavan Cathedral a very historical and valuable chased silver Chalice is stored. It was previously in use in Butlersbridge Chapel and it is said that the Chalice was donated at the opening of the Chapel in 1863. A full description with the appropriate reference is included as follows: (Irish Ecclesiastical Record XIX (1922, 1), pages 656-657)

'I herewith give you an inscription which is on a chalice now used in one of the churches (Butlersbridge) in Cavan parish: MARIA NI DOMNAILL FILIA HUGONIS MAGONI PRO AÍA THADDEI RUAIRC SUI MARITI ME FIERI FECIT MONASTERIO CHRIVELEHAE 1619 .... The stem and base are ornamented, but the cup is a plain one. The inscription, of course, is on the base.' There is a notice and an illustration of the chalice in the Catholic Encyclopedia, under the article on 'Kilmore'.

The words of the inscription are to be translated thus: Marie Ni Dhomhnaill, daughter of Aodh, son of Maghnus, for the soul of Tadhg O'Ruairc, her husband, caused me to be made for the monastery of Craobh Liath in 1619.

Craobh Liath, or Creevelea, is another name for the monastery of Dromahaire. It was also known by the name of Carraig Phadraig. From this inscription we learn two new facts: (1) Tadhg O Ruairc's wife's name was Maire, and (2) the same lady was one of the two sisters to whom Fearghal Og Mac an Bhaird addressed a graceful poem some time after.

September 15, 1608. This piece commemorates the deaths of their four brothers, Aodh, Rudhraighe, Maghnus, and Cathbharr, and of their sister Nuala. It may be read in the original Irish in Gleanings from Irish Manuscripts, 108.
