  1. There are many holy wells in my district. There are about five wells in my district namely Sgeith Brigdhe, Tobhar Pádraig, Tobar Maitiú agus Tobar Colman. People go to visit them on certain days. They go on the 29th of October, the 8th of September and the 15th of August.
    People perform there by going round the wells several times on their knees. They say certain prayers. The saints that are connected with those wells are Saint Maítiu, Saint Kiarin, Saint Patrick and Saint Colman and Saint Brigid.
    There were many people cured by the means of these wells
