  1. (continued from previous page)
    About seventy years ago they used have April fool like they have now. Sometimes they used to play very ugly tricks. Long ago a man in Bun Doracha was told that a friend of his was dead in Cregganbane. The man was surprized and he came in to the corp house. When he came in the man was working about the house.
    The three first days of April are called Trí lá na Ríabhaighe.
