- There were candlemakers in Reentrisk. They got the tallow from the sea and made candles. There were no soap makers or weavers or ropemakers in the district. There was a basket maker in Cleinough and a smith in Eskinane. There was a churn maker in Gurtahig his name was Taidhg Ó Dheí. Ceardaí beag blasta ní do dhéanach geacht ní gaibh agus cara h -imsta tamall tar éis báis.
A nice little handy carpenter for making everything for the people and coffins to stretch a while after dying.
