- The water is thrown out after washing the ft but not after night. It is supposed that there is a cure in it for certain ailments to wash their feet before they go to bed.

There was a clog-maker name Rocks and he lived beside Mullagreenan school. He made clogs about twenty years ago. Nearly everyone wears clogs in the winter. An old proverb the people had was "Shod in the cradle and barefoot in the stubble"
