  1. My Own District

    I live in a small village called Bundorragha in the parish of Leenane in Co. Mayo. There are five houses in my village. All the houses are built alike, one storey and slated. The most common surname in this place is Heneghan. Bundorragha got this name because it is situated in a hollow and it is always dark. There are eight people over seventy years of age in this place.
