- (continued from previous page)The Cooper:-
There are two old coopers in Ennis now, their names are Mr. Daly and Mr. Finucane. They make butter firkins and also they make tubs and barrels. They sell all the firkins on Saturday to the country people. The cooper is very busy during the week making firkins and tubs and barrels. They have to do great work to gather the timber. The men who work for them in those days were the Coleman's and the Hourigans of all the coopers in Ennis the Hourigans were the most famous.
