- The Cross of Wickamstown is exactly
half way between Taghmon and Galbally
There was a fellow by the name of
Reid, he used drive the emergency
men, and he told me 'twas exactly
six miles from wan barrack to the
other and that, the Cross here was
just half way.
- The Emergency men were the men
who used take over a place after
people would be evicted
The McRuaids were emergency men.
They stopped at Culmer's of Bulgan
and put the Culmers out in the
barn.
When they were putting them out they
asked them if they had any matches
and Culmer told them they had more
sovereigns than they had matches.
