In this district some gipsies frequent the place but not many because it is very near Cork and the people don't buy anything they have to sell. Farther out the country they are more numerous and they have more sale for their goods. Lace, pins and artificial flowers are their usual goods.
Regular beggars mostly ask farmers for a nights lodgings and they usually sleep in the barn. They accept money mostly and tinkers usually ask for small quantities of tea and sugar. The tinkers sell tin cans and other things made from tin. There are also travelling shows and they stop in the village for a week or so.
