    a very honest people.
    They generally camp in out of way places such as bye roads etc. and seldom visit towns except on fair or race days.
    The principal tinkers that come are Mickie Carthy and his wife, the Casey family, the Faulker family, and the Delaney family. The worst of of these tinkers is Faulker because he is always wanting to fight with the other tinkers.
    There is another tribe of tinkers called the Galway tinkers.
    These are known as the Mc Donoughs Bourkes and Dohertys.
    These are quieter than the rest of the tinkers
