- My home district. I live in Poulmounty so called because there are two rivers running into it, from places in which there are bogs. It is a valley, Poulmounty means "the hole of turfy streams". It is in the parish of St Mullins. There are only four families living in it and only ten people though many work in a woollen factory. All the houses are slated My grandmother Mrs Irwin is 79 years old
