“Travelling people who used to visit this place long ago.”
Jack the Pigeon was a very eccentric old man. He used to keep a pigeon with him always inside his great coat. The pigeon used to eat everything that Jack ate, bread, tea etc.And old pair from Dingle used to come. Nell an Duileasc and Jack. They used to sell sea-grass and apples. They had a donley and cart. Jack was very flaitheamhail. When Nell would see him too much seagrass for a penny she used to say Táin tú a' tabhairt an iomarca.They had seven sons and every one of them, fluent Irish speakers, joined the British Army.
