    There was a fund (which) (£1,000) opened to build houses and to buy stock for them. His Holiness the Pope sent £100.
    This place is now a bog and people are getting the best of turf, where 40 years ago cattle roamed and sheep grazed and comfortable little homesteads were dotted here and there.
