   Old Booly Lane which was also a very important road one time is just now a back way for farmers going to their land. Hence it is called "The Back Lane."

   There is another lane going through from Ballymorris to Kereight. This lane appears on the Ballymorris road at Mrs. Kelly's and comes out opposite Larry Walshe's, Kereight, Ballyhogue, Co. Wexford and goes on through Kereight. This lane is called "Lett's Lane" and it was once the main road to Wexford.

   There is a lane in Galbally called "The Galbally Lane", not far from the school. There are five houses on this lane. Sheil's, Brennan's, Sullivan's, Shannan's and Delaney's. This is a wide lane and motor cars or horse-cars can get through it.

   There is another lane - a very long lane - in Barmoney called "The Barmoney Lane". There are five houses on this lane : Jackman's, Kiely's, Barne's, Cashe's and Egan's. This lane is narrow, though cars and other vehicles can go through it.

   There is a mass path from the Hayestown Lane going through Mr. Codd's yard, on through the Barmoney Lane, and coming out at Mr. Swan's, Barmoney, Bree, Co. Wexford.
