    They don't catch the wren anymore but groups dress up and go from place to place collecting money.

    In Cork I presume? Proper costumes and stuff or just a few kids looking for a few cents?

    Massive. Nice to know the tradition still holds.
    There's actually an excellent article in this years Holly Bough, written by Jimmy Crowley, on the Wren tradition.
