    Old saying:
    "Happy is the bride that the sun shines on"
    "Happy is the corpse that the rain falls on"
    The coffin should be brought in the back door, and should be brought out the front door
    The wife should not go to the funeral of the first of her children to die
    The bride to be should not see the ring before her wedding day
    When going a journey alone at night he should bring some oatmeal in his pocket for fear of the "Féar-gorta" (Pronounced Feár gortach in this district)
