- The names of the local roads are, the Graigue road, the Kyle road, the Clonmeen road and the Ross road. The main roads lead from Urlingford to Roscrea, from Abbeyleix to Thurles and from Kilkenny to Rathdowney. It is not known when they were made. There aren't many old roads in the district.
Roads were made as relief work during the famine period. The workmen received only fourpence a day and were very thankful for it. There was a by road from Con Finn's forge to Rathpatrick from Graigue to Bayswell and from Bayswell to the Islands of Urlingford.- Collector
