    Clothes made Locally
    These are two tailors in the district. Thomas Keavney and John Cosgrove. Keavney lives at Tullycooley cross-roads and Cosgrove lives in Ballinaga. They work at home. They do not travel from house to house. There is no cloth spun or woven in the district. The tailors use needles and pins. Thread is spun in the district. There are shirts made in the homes from linen. They mostly wear every sort of dresses white dresses mostly at dances and weddings. The people wear black on a death occassion. Grey on feast days.
