    Seán Dearg was another traveller who used to call to our house very often. He knew a lot of Irish. Sometimes he used to work and earn money. When he got old he got blind, so he went into Clonakilty Home. He is now ninety two years, and is still living. Every Christmas he gets tobacco and whiskey from those who knew him in his youth.
