    (continued from previous page)
    very old Irish industry. We could not go back to the days when lobster pots were first made. They are still made in our own village, Crookhaven.
    First the twigs are planted or perhaps they grow wild in wet places. Then they are cut down and made into bundles and are drawn home. Then a stand made of timber with holes in it is put on a barrel and the twigs are put in the holes and are worked in and out until the lobster pot is completed.
