  2. Billeting of Rats

    Share Share Post
    One time a man was coming along the Corgarrif Road, and he met a terrible number of rats going along the road. They were like an army. They were not afraid of him. It was supposed they were going to a house near Ballyhaise. Later people went to the house to live. But they had to leave because of the rats. Some men are able to billet rats. They give the rats something and they go away in a drove to another place.
