    Wedding on in the Castle Oaks at the weekend. They'll all go down to Killorglin for the Puck Fair after that. So there you go.

    Yup

    Whole pile of them at watchhouse cross near moyross too. Friend of mines father had a whole load of them move into a field he owned. Had to cut off their water supply to get them out (they can't go without water) another story someone told me is that they are a very superstitious lot and someone put a load of frogs into their site one night when they were all asleep. They moved on the next day, they thought it was bad luck or something and left :) My uncle just downright got out a shotgun and told them to leave or else (they did !) other than that you have to bribe them (money talks !!!!)

    I think it is safe to say the OP has had his question answered.
