    My father told me that when he was a small boy that he knew a house where all the tinkers used to stay in. The names of some of these tinkers were the O'Briens, Coffeys, and the Sherdians. The name of the house that the tinkers used to stay in was Paddy Garry of Killcara, Duagh.
    This house was a real haunt for the tinkers.
