    The Bruff line is one of the local roads in the district. It runs from Newcastle to Bruff. Several cars run there but there is no bus service on it. The Ramhorn line is another road. It joins Feenagh with Frankfort. It is compared to a ram's horn for being so crooked. It was made during the famine times to give relief to the poor. Booreen a Throntha a road that was leading to Rathkeale was the main road long ago. It is now only a boreen leading to a field. There is also a road from the tinkers Cross about a mile from Ballingarry meeting the main road to Croom.
