The REO News from January 1959 mentions MoyrahanA scanned page from the ESB REO magazine about the Moyrahan Rural AreaThis digital scan from the REO News displays the following text:
"Moyrahan & Fallmore:
Summer migration to England for work is the usual course for many in this area…. Irish is the spoken language in some parts…. Sales (£345) reflect the trend of incomes. Local turf is cheap, so cookers don’t sell very well. A salesvan could do useful work later."
