- (continued from previous page)A man named Cooper McGettrick used to make churns and firkins. A man who lived in Collooney used to make brushes out of heather, they were called beenoms. He used to go from door to door and town to town selling them for a few pence each. Many of these old customs are dying out, but some of them are still to be found in the country.
