- The local fairs are held in Toomevara, Silvermines, Newtown, Kilcommon and Nenagh itself.The buyers very often transact their business in farm houses or on the land. There are fairs held on the hill of Scariff, Tullow and Kilcommon. There is no fair green in Nenagh so the fair is held on the street.Luck money is always given when an animal is sold, it is called the luck penny. Two shillings or two and six is given. When a bargain has been made the parties show their agreement by striking their hands. The animals are marked with raddel and pen-knife, mud not used. The rope or halter is given with the animal when sold.
