  1. Old Trades

    Share Share Post
    There was a family lived in Direeny by the name of Shannon. They used go to the bogs and bring soft fir and make ropes out of it.
    The people long ago used to make their own clothes. They used card the wool first then spin it and bring it to the weavers. The weavers were living in Aghabeg. Their names were Fitzgeralds.
