    There is a local fair held in Drumlish on the last Wednesday in every month. Some fairs are not held in towns they are held in country places at Crossroads. there are none of these held in this district. Drumlish fair is held on the public street now. It was held on the fair green in olden times. This fair green is there still surrounded by a high wall, with a large gate for an entrance - the custom was collected on this gate. The green is owned now by Michl Dillon.
    People began to buy and sell on the street to avoid custom.
    The fairs in Drumlish failed and for a number of years there was no fair of any
