“There was an old woman named Mrs Kelly who lived in Adamstown, Bantry, Co Wexford.”
There was an old woman named Mrs. Kelly who lived in Adamstown, Bantry, Co Weseford. Mr. Larken now lives in that house, where this old man and woman lived.
When there was a funeral in the village, this woman used to give the men a whole lot of whiskey to make them drunk. Be gob o'man anyhow, when they got drunk they used to fight till the next mornin' with blacksticks, an' then go home. A whole lot of people used to come to the funerals to get the whiskey.- Collector
