    There are five tailors in our district. There are three in Ballymahon, one in Branigan, and one in Kenagh. Those are their names, Mr. John Fagan, Ballymahon; Mr. Duffy, Ballymahon and Mr. Martin Reynolds, Ballymahon; Mr. Patrick Fagan Branigan and Mr. Flanigan Kenagh.
    At the present time the tailors don't sell the material but they used long ago Sometimes they send away for the material if the people ask them.
