- MONDAYIt was thought very unlucky to change residence on a Monday and people would never think of removing into a new house on that day. Ever here some parents won't send their children to school on Monday for the first time. People won't change cattle from one place of grazing to another on a Monday either. Tailors and dressmakers do not like to do cutting on Monday, and graves are not dug on Monday. If a corpse has to be buried on Monday, a sod is dug in the grave on Sunday. People are afraid some misfortune would befall them if they acted to the contrary for the old saying warns:-"Ná bris nós agus ná dein nós"
