- (ar lean ón leathanach roimhe)Down in Maudlin there were coopers and churn-makers, of the name Kenny. Mr. Kenny, the man who drives the bread-van for Kiernan's is a grandson and a grand-nephew of the people who carried on this industry.
- These lights were made from rushes. The brown withered top as well as the root of each rush was cut off. This left the piece about 1 1/2 ft. long. The grease was got from the chandler's and was melted in the grisset or oval-shaped kind of frying-pan used for this purpose. This pan had three little legs and a handle. The rushes were pealed and a strip of the green skin left all the way up like the back seam of a stocking to keep the rush strong. Then the white was dipped into the grease and the rush left to dry.
When dry they were made into a sheaf or a bundle and hung under the chimney pieces. A rushlight lasted about an hour.- Bailitheoir
