  1. Local Cures

    Share Share Post
    There are wells at Paddy McLaughlin's along the Carndonagh Road. Two of them are always boiling but one of them ceased to boil. Many people go for cures to them. A dalkin can cure the sting of a nettle and the blue bag is used for a bee sting. Blacksally bark and butter cures warts and washing soda is also used on them.
