   Drunkenness was very common and wasn't looked upon as a disgraceful thing as we regard it now. In fact one wasn't considered a manly fellow unless he were seen staggering home.
   Faction fighting and family feuds were the order of the day. Every Sunday after Mass, and on Fair Days and Market days, the fights raged until the combatants were separated by mutual friends or by the police. Blood flowed freely in these fights, and on a few occasions they ended in murder.
