- Basket-making is dying out in this district. There is one man still in the district who makes them. His name is Tommie Mill's and he lives ion the townland of Killacreeny. He makes the baskets from sally and hazel rods. He sells the baskets two shillings each.
There was another man whose mane was John Heaslip, he also was a maker of baskets and sometimes got up to four shillings for each basket made. They usually make the baskets on wet days when the could not work outside. John Heaslip is dead now. The townland in which John Heaslip lived was Corrwillis.
