    1. Strong men
    Bernard Gallagher used to carry forty stone of wheat on his back up steps to a loft.
    2. Quick walkers
    Paddy Kelly walked to Nenagh a distant of 20 miles for a grey-hound and was back that night at 12 o clock. He did it about 30 years ago.
    3. An old woman Mrs Martin used to go milk her cows two miles across the bog over near All-Saints and carry home a can of milk on her head and she niting a sock on her way home.
