    In Portlaoighise Convent which is in the County Laoighise there is a Nun named Sister Agatha Mulhall and in her spare time she makes toys such as Dancing Dolls and boats etc.
    I saw people making balls with leather shaped like SS and then and then they are sewed together and the make a fine ball.
