    (continued from previous page)
    When the herring come in there are always a lot of hawker's carts waiting to hawk them around the town.
    There are sometimes lorries waiting to take the herring inland. "Fresh Rosslares" is one of the well known cries of Wexford and it may often be heard many miles away too.
