Seanfhocail

A whistling girl and a crowing hen there is never luck in the house they are in.
A stitch in time saves nine.
Is fearr rith maith ná droch-sheasamh.
Much wants more.


Collected by:- Áine Nic Mhathúna, Ballycashen,
Told by: - Pat Mc Mahon, Ballcashen, (her father)

Seanfhocail

You cannot hold water in a strainer.
Half a loaf is better than no bread.
He who laughs last, laughs best.
Too far east is west.
Dont ever put a job on the long finger.
