I meant Archbishop Sheehan! And I meant that the two types were entirely different in social position and access to wealth, not how he might have judged them on the grounds of character. Oops!

The term “rafferty rules” in English is often used in rural communities to refer to poor maintenance of fences and gates,etc. In “Seana-chaint na nDeise II”, reachtaire is described as “a person who took a lease on land for a season to take the season’s produce, esp. a person who took on lease the use of milking cows for a season.” In “Seanchas an Tailliura”, chapter XVII, p. 146, Tadhg O Buachalla observes:

An reachtaire agus a bha ar an gcnoc
