    Many years ago there lived quite a few tailor's in this Parish namely Jermiah Ó Neill a native of Caheragh, Daniel Dempsy Bauravilla who was better known as Táiliúir na Gear" Denis Dwyre Coolanuller and John Sullivan of the same place. One of these men often visited my Father's home. And quite often made a suit for him. He used to make the suits for the people out of frieze cloth, manufacted by the people themselve's, He used to stay in every house two nights. His pay was about 5/- for that time. They used have Spinning wheel's at that time too.
