    “There are fairs held in Mitchelstown every month, people sell cattle, sheep, pigs, and other animals at the fairs.”

    There are fairs held in Mitchelstown every month, people sell cattle, sheep, pigs, and other animals at the fairs. They sell the animals at the square. They have to pay custom on the animals to a man named Whelan. They had to pay twopence on cattle and one penny on sheep. When they meat used to run short, the butchers used to go to the houses to buy sheep and cattle to kill. When they used to sell the animals they used to give money for luck to the buyer, the money which was given was called the luck penny. Sometimes special fairs were held for the selling of pigs. They sold fowl and eggs at the markets.
