    Most of the are generally welcome in every house and they receive fairly good alms.
    Some of them travel singly but most of them has large families.
    The best known parties are Pat Madigan and Kisean and Pat Quilligans and the best of welcome is for all these at every house.
    None of them has any special time of the year for coming and some them has a special place for staying.
    Some of them are very welcome for they tell stories about ghosts and many other funny stories.
    God bless ye all is the first salute they give when they visit a house.
