    Markets were held in the towns in former times and are still held there.
    Hucksters, pedlars and dealers in feathers and rags came to the district in former times and still come.

  2. A Song

    “Still on nomination day”

    Still on nomination day
    Says the Sean-bhean Bhocht
    Faith 'twas better than a play
    Says the sean-bhean Bhocht
    To see the boys all in the fray
    Says the sean-bhean Bhocht.
    On Leinsboro bridge the fight
    And the baggles in their might
    Were by Haydens put to flight
