- If people are taking a child out for the first time, they put burned coals into his clothes, so that no ill-luck would befall him. When whirl-winds rise on the road, people throw a stone after them for they thought the fairies were in them -Sídhe Gaoithe."Ná chaith an t-uisge salach amach go dtí go mbeidh an t-uisce glan istig agat."
- When the Americans sent ship loads of Indian meal to Ireland during the famine, cook-shops were established in every locality, where the meal used to be cooked and distributed to the hungry, who came there.It seems that there was a cook-shop in Poll na Déirce, and this seems to be the origin of the name.
