    Carrigeen is plentiful around the shores of Urris. It is gathered in the summer time by the boys and girls.
    Carrigeen is a short brown sea-weed that grows on the big rocks in the bottom of the sea. We can gather Carrigeen when there is a spring-tide.
    When the carrigeen is gathered it is taken home. Then it is spread evenly on the grass. The wind the sun and the rain bleach it and turn it white.
