- Some people make baskets yet in some districts. There is a man whose name is John Gilbride in Ballyboy who makes baskets yet. He cuts the sally rods and boils them for about an hour. He makes a white basket for two or three shillings. He used to plait a decorated handle into each basket. The people used to bring butter and eggs to town in these baskets.
