- In Shrove the people get married here in this district.
Tis an old custom to throw an old shoe at them or to throw rice at them. There are matches made here.
The bride must either have land or else a fortune.
It is a custom for straw boys or sappers visit houses of the wedding feast. This is an old rhyme I got from my father Richard Sheehy, Bealkilla
Monday for health
Tuesday for wealth
Wednesday the best day of all
Thursday for losses
Friday for crosses
Saturday no luck at all- Collector
