   Willie Smith down here, was often telling me, when he was working on the railway. When they were making that railway from Waterford to Rosslare. He was often telling me that all he'd have in the morning was a crust of dry bread and a sup of milk and he'd have to work hard all day on that. At night they'd have a big pot of cutling stirabout and they'd all dip into it.
