    Some of them travel on foot and some of them have a pony and cart to go about on. They travel in families. The best known of them are the MacDonaghs and O Donovans and these travellers have been coming for forty years.
    In summer they come mostly when the visitors are here. Long ago they used to tell stories to the people and bring news to them from different places when there were no newspapers.
