  1. Local Roads

    In my district there is an old road called "BocaR an loca". It got its name from a small lake which is beside the road. Although the lake is small it never dries, and sometimes in winter, when heavy rain comes, it floods the road, and that is why the road is called "BocaR on loca". This road leads from the Claremorris- Tuam road to the villages of Killeen- revagh and Garrymore. It was made about a hundred years ago.
