‘In our open diligence there were two young men both very uproariously drunk. They talk to and made jokes at almost every passerby. All, men and women, answered with laughter and other pleasantries. I thought I was in France.’

Taken from an excellent article by Michael MacCarthy Morrogh, ‘Accents- We had two voices one English one Irish’ New Skibbereen Historical Journal.
