The day before 15th August the tinkers are very numerous going about. They all flock to the old Dublin road, or the "grassy lanes" as they call it, which is convenient to Slane, to be in Slane for 15th August. They know then that they will get alms from the crowds who come on pilgrimage to the Holy Well. They then usually end up the day fighting.
The day before a races or such like the tinkers are also very numerous, and they head for the race course as quickly as possible.- Collector
