- I know a certain walker. His name is Tom Whitacre. We call him the ash plant man. He gets the ash plants in Ballycillcavan wood. This wood is near Stradbally. He is about fifty years old. He gets a half-crown for each plant. He sells the plants in Dublin. When ever he is around he lodges at James Brennans Kilrush. He lives in Ballyshannon Killcullen. The ash plant man told me that he walks ninety miles a week.
