  1. People long ago used to be twenty and twenty five years old before wearing a shoe. TIM CASEY Pound Street Kilrush and MR BURKE Caherush never wore a shoe even to the present day.
    Children nowadays go barefooted in Summer when the fine weather comes. Disinfecting stuff should be used to wash sore feet. The water should be kept inside until every one of the house is in side because the person would go astray or you might hit the Fairies in the face.
