- A year or two after the famine the Government started making roads in Ireland, and starting little jobs to keep the people from starving.
Instead of money sometimes it was a quart of meal they used to give the men every day as pay.
There is a road going to Burrenmore called Bóthar na Mine because it was meal they used to give the men for their day's wages. That is how the road got its name. - You are not logged in, but you are welcome to contribute a transcription anonymously.
