- (ar lean ón leathanach roimhe)This caused what is called a "Cí Cái"(a struggle for the money".
This custom is still carried out in mostly every village & town of Wexford.
After marching around for some time they all returned to the little field from whence they started, placed the bush in the ground again and burned it.
This custom is carried out in Taghmon in two or three different parts of the village amongst different groups of children. - It is never right to whitewash a house during the month of May.
Mostly all the houses were whitewashed and cleaned up in Taghmon during April, and in a few cases men worked very hard during hte last few days of April in order to have the work done before 1st May.
It is also said that one should not get married in month of May.
