(continued from previous page)Daly of Killgoura Carrigtwohill now dead would now be about 95 yrs. used make baskets. David Cotter often saw him make them. He used pick out 4 or 5 strong ones. One fairly strong and bend it to egg shape for top frame. The the strong side ones were tied to this top frame and the weaker ones were interwoven. Schee was made of Sally twigs gathered round Ballinakilla and Leamlara. He made these after work as a hobby for the farmers - They might give him a bit of tobacco for them.

Upper and Lower Ballinakilla people have a Mass Path through Cotters fields to Leamlara Church.
