  1. Pishogues

    Share Share Post
    On May Eve Margaret Lynch, Main Street Cappamore Co. Limerick, was taking away manure from the back of her own house when she got about two or three dozen of rotten eggs in the manure.
    Someone was putting piseogs on her.
    Mrs Ryan, Towerhill, Cappamore Co. Limerick put piseogs on some farmers that she didn't like. When they used to wash the calves she used have beestings in the buckets.
