- The name of my home district is Westport. In olden times most of the houses were thatched except the very rich houses. There are a few old people in our district. The oldest of them is Austin Gannon. This man's age is about eighty three years. He gets up very early in the morning. He lives by himself. He is a great Irish speaker. He speaks the very old Irish. He tells every kind of stories in English and Irish. A lot of people from my district went away to America and England. The emigration to America ceased and the people had to go to England.
