Seoirse Ò Dochartaigh tells the gathering about the wily way a family got out of having to feed some hungry tailors who had to be fed. Recorded in Malin Head, August, 2009 as part of the Rambling House radio series. Seoirse's widow, Kathryn, was good to share this anecdote regarding the tailor tale: -
