    Once every month there are fairs held in Naas, Kildare, Newbridge and Edenderry. Sometimes when people have pigs to sell they send them to the Dublin market or to the fairs. A man named Mr. Breshin sometimes come from Naas to buy pigs around here.
    When people sell pigs they always give the person they sell to, some money for luck. This is called the "luck-penny.
