    Old Crafts.
    There is a man living in Monagrena Monamolin Gorey Co Wexford named Michael Hayden who makes baskets. He makes about ten baskets at a time and goes into Enniscorthy to sell them.
    Before he went to Monagrena he lived in the Harrow with his brother William Hayden and they worked together and they got a lot of basket making to do.
    The willows used for this work are got in the bogs around the place.
    I know this man quite well myself.
