  1. Wages Long Ago

    Share Share Post
    Long ago the people of Ireland were made to work very hard. This was in the time of the landlords.
    The wages a man got for cutting a bank of turf one hundred and twenty yards long, two yards wide and four sods deep was one penny and two saucepanfuls of Indian meal.
