- Three times a year fairs were held in Kilmurry I brickane namely, St Swithen's Day, St. Patrick's Day and Our Lady's Day. Faction fights were customary at fairs at that time and Kilmurry was no exception. It was a faction fight which led to the closing down of the fairs in Kilmurry I brickane. A man was killed there and the toll collector was concerned in the fight. A dispute arose between the Parish Priest and the toll collector on account of the man being killed and the Parish Priest put an end to the fairs.Fairs are now held in Mullagh on the following days St. Patrick's Day, New Year's Day and Easter Monday.
