- Fairy MoneyOne night as John Flannery was coming from Bullaun he spied in the middle of the road a heap of sovereigns. He stuffed them into his pocket and thinking himself proud ran home.When he entered the house his wife noticed him very excited, and he went to empty his pockets but what did he find but his pockets full of cíaráns of turf.Ole people say if you mix your own money with fairy money all would be right money.Patrick Flannery Ballykerin Bullaun Loughrea.
From me uncle Pat age 64 Ballykerin Bullaun on the 4th Feb 1938. - You are not logged in, but you are welcome to contribute a transcription anonymously.
