    week-day dress they used to wear a coat called a collie made of linen and trousers made of linen also.
    When people wanted to get their flax threshed they used to gather up all the neighbours and get them to thrash it. When the threshing was over the woman used to give them plenty of soda bread and poteen for their supper and she would let them dance until the early hours of the morning. When it was threshed it was sent to Barnacooga a village a mile away and there it was made into linen.
