    Old Crafts
    John O Shea Bodal used to occupy his time by making straw-bee-hives for his own purpose, and also to sell some of them. Bill Doyle used to make shovels but they were not shovels like ours they were made of wood, and they used to get rotten very quickly because they used to be left wet.Jim Morrissy was a very good thatched he thatched many out houses for farmers.
