Old Butter Road
“Cork Butter Market was established in the year 1770 and farmers from all over Cork and Kerry brought their butter to that market to sell. So the route from Kerry was and still is called the Old Butter Road. Sometime in the past year I travelled that road and thought it a good idea to name a tune after it.”
Sean-bhóthar an Ime
“Bunaíodh Margadh Ime Chorcaí sa mbliain 1770 agus tugadh feirmeoirí as gach ceantar i gCorcaigh agus i gCiarraí a gcuid ime go dtí an margadh lena dhíol. Ag an am tugadh Bóthar an Ime ar an tslí as Co. Chiarraí agus maireann an t-ainm i gcónaí. I gcaitheamh na bliana seo caite thaistealaíos ar an mbóthar seo agus shíleas go mba mhaith an t-ainm ar phort é.”
