- There was a beggar man and his wife travelling around a few years ago. The man's name was Tom Harrington. They used to sell rosary bead's and prayer books and pictures and a lot of other holy things. The people used to buy a lot of things from them. They were living in a van. They used to stay around about a week. They used to ask for tea, sugar, bread, butter, and a lot of other things. They were from Kerry.
