- On St Stephens day the young men of this district gather toghe together in bands varying from six to twelve and hunt and kill the wren.
They go around in procession, some dressed like old women, others as old men carrying the dead wren in a box with them.
They go from door to door giving entertainment in the way of singing, playing French-fiddles , Fifes and also dancing expecting some money in return.
The following is the wren rhyme repeated in this district.
The wren, the wren, the king of all birds.
St Stephens day, was caught in the furze
Although she is small her family is great
Rise up land ladies and give as a "trate"
Its not a "trate" we want but money we crave
So up with the skillet and down with the pan.
A penny or two pence to bury the wren.
St. Brigid's Day.
