  1. My Own District

    Share Share Post
    the name of my own district is Pullinareny [?], and my house is situated in the center of it. There are not many bogs to be found in my district and there are not many people living here now and nearly all young. There are not many people over seventy years old. None of the people in my district speak Irish. There is one great river in my district called the Black Water, it flows out of Lough Rath and flows down the center of Pullinareny [?].
