- Long ago fairs used to be held at Benekerry Crossroads, near this school When a bargain was made the buyer and the seller would strike their hands together. The same thing is done still, at Carlow Fair. The fair is held in the town on the fourth Wednesday of every month. A toll of three pence a head has to be paid on every beast, when entering the "Fair Green".
