    Bhí bean ina comhnuidhe i Ros Guill agus nuair a bhí na préataí gann rachadh sí suas achan maidin go Carraig Airt fa choinne cupla sceden préataí a bhí fágtha ins an cuibhreann nuair a bhí na préataí eile bainte chun a cuid páistí a choinneáil beo.
    Bhí fear ag déanamh bráchain thiar ag Baile Úi Thighearnain agus bheireadh sé amach do na daoine é. Bhí fear eile i nGleann Lois ag déanamh bráchain fosta.
