Additional words collected by Sarah Dukelow, of Clasdadoo and Sea Lodge in Durrus, West Cork, in the 1930s.

Saran now Mrs.Peters in Dublin collected the words. Her father’s house in Sea Lodge opposite the pier was a ‘Scoraiocting’ house neighbors especially in the winter would assemble for stories, music and cards. In the 1950s the local Catholic Priest tried to discourage it as he did not like people of different religions mixing. Her father Thomas had a wealth of words and phrases.

She had also been involved in the collection of folklore for the school project in 1937.

She later trained a teacher in the all Irish Coláiste Moibhi Glasnevin, Dublin.

Granart (grana-rt), displeasure, Tom Coughlan says As a young lad I used to work with Jimmy (Joe’s brother) saving hay and there was an Irish word he would use to express displeasure or disgust and I don’t see it included in Joe’s list. It sounded something like this (granart) gra-na-rt. Though my Irish was never good its totally abysmal now. Perhaps you could check this with him when you meet. He is a really nice guy from my memories of him. Glad to know he is still hale and hearty.

The cáoin was in the style of Caoineadh Art Uí Laoighre. Sarah (Nancy) took it down and gave it to the headmaster Líam Blennerhasset for the School Folklore Project but he never used it.
