    year is held in Drogheda on the 12th of May. The greatest cow and pig fairs of the year are held in Dunleer on the 14th of May and Twelfth Day (6th January) and in Dundalk on the 17th of May.
    On that day boys and girls who are idle go to the town and farmers hire them for six months. This day is called "Hiring Day".
