- There are three forges in the parish. The smiths are, Hugh OReilly, Thomas Smith and Terence Smith. Thomas Smith's and Terence Smith's people have been in the trade for generations. Hugh OReilly's forge is situated along the Grellagh Road, Thomas Smith's along the Bailieboro' Road, and Terence Smith's along the Dublin Road. Hugh OReilly's forge is beside where I live. It is roofed with iron. It has a double door. There is one fireplace within. The bellows are at the back of the fire. There is a long handle on the top which the smith pulls up and down to "blow" the fire to the irons. In the forge there are hammers, pincers, sledges, a vice and an anvil. The smith shoes horses and asses and mends ploughs and other farm implements. The principle work done in the forge is shoeing horses. Wheels of carts are "shod" outside as the iron has to be heated with turf. People often give the blacksmith gifts.(leanann ar an chéad leathanach eile)
