Travelling people call at my house a few times a year.
It is generally the same people come always. Here are some of their names:- The Delanys; the McCarthys; the Faulkners; the Caseys; the Sherlocks and the Finucanes.
The Delanys are from Kilkenny; the McCarthys and the Caseys are from Tipperary; the Faulkners are from Kilrush; the Sherlocks are from Ennistymon and the Finucanes are from Galway.
They have small things for sale such as tincans, saucepans, clothes brushes,studs for collars, tie pens and holy pictures.
Some of these things are bought from them and they exchange others for food.
They make the majority of these things themselves
