  1. Duty-Work for Landlords

    Share Share Post
    Long ago the people of Ballintrillick had to go to Lissadel to do some work such as trying corn. They had to do this journey on foot which was a distance of about eight miles. They brought their dinner with them at first, but after a while they got their food in Lissadel. While they worked a man from there worked with them and each of them had to do as much work as that man. The dinner consisted of a farrel of bread; that is a cake was cut into four parts and each one got a farrel.
