2. Travelling Folk

   

   Roinn Roinn Postáil

   In my district travelling folk still come around to each house. The same people have been coming around for many years, the best known of them being the McDonaghs and the Cawleys, the Sweeneys, Smiths and Maughans. The old woman of the McDonaghs is 102 years and when she gets her pension she goes into the public house and spends it on drink.
   Some other bands of travelling folk sell tins and porringers and the people of the district buy them. Those travelling folk buy the tin in the nearest town to them and make the articles.
   Those travellers are never welcome in my district because they are never satisfied with what they get, they crave for flour, bacon, eggs, milk, baking soda and other things. They remain in the district for days and weeks sometimes.
   The majority of them travel in caravans and more of them in carts; they hardly ever travel on foot. They frequently come at Easter and they usually bring news from different parts.
   Indeed no one interferes with them because they are always quarrelling and fighting at fairs. They sell horses perhaps and then both men and women go into the public house and spend the money on drink. Then they use some terrible language.
