“Long ago the women used to be going for water...”
Long ago the women used to be going for water they would put a pelicen on the top of their heads and they used to put a pail upon it and they would put a joggler to keep it from joggling.
This story was told by John Dolan who lives in Nursery Park Co. Galway. Collected by Julia Dolan Monivea N.S.
Long ago when the people would be going to the town they would carry their shoes under their arms until they would come near the town they would put them on. This story was told by Mrs. Hoban Monivea Co. Galway. Collected by Vincent Hoban Monivea N.S.
