- St. Stephen's Day in this district the people catch the little Dreóilín and bring him around from house to house in a box decorated with holly and laurel. They say a small Irish rhyme going into the houses so here it is as follows:
A dreoilín, a dreoilín,
A Rí na n-éin,
Is mór a mhuirín
Agus is beag é féin
Éirige suas a fhear an tighe
Agus tabhair beag no mor do'n Dreoilín.- Collector
