    By all the goats in Kerry and that's a horny oath
    Kerry cows wear long horns

    There's as good a fish in the sea as ever came out of it

    Croiceann 's a luach

    Ní h-ionann dul go dtí an baile mór is teacht as

    Eat the big one (potato) with the little one
    What good is the cow that spills her own milk?
