“There was a woman in Ballinafad named Mrs O' Gara.”
There was a woman in Ballinafad named Mrs O'Gara. She always had a lot of eggs for sale, and everytime there was a market in Sligo, a distance of twenty miles, she would get up at four o'clock in the morning and go there to sell the eggs. She would walk to and from Sligo, and be home early in the evening. She lived to be a very old woman. I think she is not dead fifteen years yet. - Collector
