    These travellers are generally welcomed. The alms they accept are food and money. They travel singly on foot.
    Their names are O'Driscoll's and O'Conner's. The O'Driscoll's come to our district frequently, they come regularly at Christmas and midsummer.
    Lots of people gather to hear them, because they bring stories from distant parts of the country. They fix little huts on the road. The women go out every day with baskets of articles selling.
    They get their supplies in the nearest town or village. They also tell tale's of olden times.
    Their animals are very "breachy" they often on farmer's land.
