Listowel and Abbeyfeale are the fair-centres at which the sale of local livestock is transacted. Formerly buyers came to the country buying calves but this has discontinued. The fairs are held on the streets in Abbeyfeale, while in Listowel they are held in the market and the square. Toll is paid at the rate of sixpence per animal at all fairs in Listowel and at the June and September fairs in Abbeyfeale. It is paid to Lord Listowel and William Broderick respectively. Luck money or "luck" as it is called is given after the sale of an animal and is estimated according to the price;Nora Murphy
