  1. May Sunday at Ballyseedy (continued)

    (continued from previous page)
    When evening came the people partook of refreshments and took a rest. Then they marched back to town again after the band. People from other districts went home by cars, bicycles etc. very tired but happy after an enjoyable day.
    For the past seventeen or eighteen years the number of people going to Ballyseedy on May Sunday had dwindled, and some years nobody went there. The reason for this is that a number of men were cruelly killed near the spot by being blown up in a mine, and people feel that it is not a suitable place for enjoyment.
