- The fairs in the district are held at Glenogra and Croom.
The fairs of Glenogra are held on the road-side, but at Croom they are held in the town.
Occasionally buyers make purchase of "dry stock" on the lands.
There is a special Fair Green in the city of Limerick, but at Rathkeale and Croom the fairs are held in the streets. The toll paid to market trustees is collected at the gate.
Fairs were formerly held at Adare and Fedamore but for the want of facilities for transport they were discontinued.
The "luck penny" given is about a 1/- per head and for smaller animals such as bonhams and calves about 6d per head.
