- Very many travelling people visit this district, especially during the Summer months. They nearly always visit the same houses. Nowadays they do not sleep in the houses, as they travel in bands and had caravans of their own.
Some of them are very poor. and they only ask for food or money. and when they get any help. they always pray for the person. Others sell tins, and holy pictures, and laces, and studs and nearly everybody buys something from them. They usually stay in the district for a week or longer.
They never have food with them, but they ask for it in the houses.
The Driscoll's and the Sheridans are the best known of them.
