  2. Another Meaning for Poll na Déirce

    Share Share Post
    When the Americans sent ship loads of Indian meal to Ireland during the famine, cook-shops were established in every locality, where the meal used to be cooked and distributed to the hungry, who came there.
    It seems that there was a cook-shop in Poll na Déirce, and this seems to be the origin of the name.
