- Before you throw away the water in which you have washed your feet put a pin into it and "you never will have corns"
When throwing out water :-
"Bhí ag imteacht, bhí ag imtheacht, uisge salach"
When a bit of bread falls from you at the table do not lift it. "Some poor creature will need it".
"Throw an old shoe after the bride that she may have luck"
Ná bhíonn tréan buan.Molann an obair an fear.
Is BUN? fear 'na chuid fhéin
Is búan fear 'na dhuthaigh féin
Never throw out water after sunset, "You might drown the "good people".
