  1. About sixty five years ago a family named O'Dwyer lived in Fethard St. in the house now occupied by Edward Crotty. These people carried on an industry of their own on a very small scale. Childen used to gather wool from the fields and hedges which the O'Dwyers cleaned and spun into thread. They then used to knit stockings with the thread and sell the stockings.
