    Piercetown because the people were not able to pay the rent of their farm, and they were thrown out on the roadside with all their belongings. The landlord did not care where they went. Some kind friends gave them a house in Skerries, and they called the house "Piercetown Cottage" and the descendants of those people live there now.
    Once some Rush men had a fight with Lord Holmpatrick because they had to pay for the seaweed they took off the strand. Some people have to pay high rent - this is called penal rent.
