  1. The tailors used go around to the houses long ago to make the clothes for the people. They would stay a week in every house and all the people of the place would come in every night to hear the tailor telling the stories. He used be sitting up on the table when he would be sewing. The people would have the cloth for him to make. It was frize clothes that they used get long ago.
    The tailors that used come around here were Patrick O Connor from Crusheen Forde from Moyhee. They used to come when you would want them. There is a tailor in Crusheen now called Cullinan. He dose not go around to the houses only the people bring the cloth to him to make it.
