- The local fairs are held in Longford town and buyers often transact business at farmers houses in the country. This is still kept in memory. Fairs were held formerly which were discontinued lately because in some places the drunkards used to rob people going and take money from them. The town fair is held on the street. Toll is paid to men standing on the street near a railyway station where cattle are going to be exported, it is supposed to be about fourteen pence pence per head. When special animals are been sold such as horses or sometimes cows luck money is given to the buyer.
When a bargain is being made the parties concerned show their agreement by striking hands. Animals are marked when they are sold with wraddle. When an animal is sold the halter is given with him. The great fairs of the years are October, June and April. The sheep and horses are sold in the cattle fair and there is a special fair on the Second Thuesday of every month for bonoras [?] and big pigs.- Bailitheoir
