  2. Feast of St Brigid - 1st February

    Share Share Post
    On this night the young men go with the "Brídeóg". The "Brídeógs" are the same as the "Wren Boys". They are usually invited to houses and remain in it for 2 or 3 hours singing and dancing with the members of the household. They get tea during the night. They collect no money. The Brídeógs go around anytime from 1st to end of February.
