  1. Buying and Selling

    Share Share Post
    Markets were held in former times. There are markets held in Balla during the season of Spring. Potatoes, oats and cabbage are sold at the markets.
    Sometimes people go around in a lorry and they buy eggs. The people in the country buy whatever they need. It saves them a great deal of trouble.
    This was told to me by,
    Miss Flanagan,

    Co. Mayo.
