“About seventy years ago in this Co. there used be great bonefires lit.”
(ar lean ón leathanach roimhe)Wexford exactly seventy years ago.
If a person did a heroic
act or was a great footballer
or anything of that kind, the
people of the parish would
always light a bonefire in his
honour. All these customs have
now died out in this county.
It is a long time ago since
a bonfire was lit, almost
fifty years ago. They wouldn't
go to the bother or trouble of getting the poles and bushes
at all . . If anything great
happened nowardys, all the people
would do is go into a big
field of bushes and burn it.
