    Pat Mannion, Kilcreevanty, gave me the following old prayers.
    The people in olden t imes used to say this aspiration when making the fire. They need to leave the tongs in the fire grate across and them say:
    "May God and the Saints fire serve this place until I arise next day le Cúnamh Dé"
    When they used to awake next day, they used to pray:
    "Seo lá eile le Cúnamh Dé,
    Agus go Feicidh mé míle mór
    mar é".
    When they used to quench the lamp at night they used to say:
    "Nár Múchaidh Dia solus na bhFlaithis orainn"
