  1. Travelling people some times call to my home. They generally come singly. Some travellers sell nothing, but others sell laces, thongs, studs, pins, cans, mats, chairs and tables. Money is generally given to them as alms. Some travel on foot, some in cars and some in caravans. The best known of them are Tom Malone, Tommy Ryan, Paddy Cronin and Coakley.
