No signage for Ovens |
Ballincolligisation. It denotes the spread of one Parish into another. Namely, the spread of Ballincollig into Ovens.
For so long we Ovensies were seen as "dem muckers". The inhabitants of Ballincollig who had notions about themselves because they had a a set of traffic lights, a petrol station and a bicycle shop by L'n'N, thought they were better then us Ovensies and dismissed us as second class citizens.
For all we had was a school, a church, two shops (three if you include Jim Gleeson's), five or six pubs and a post office.
We also had a connection to the likes of Aherla and Farran although that didn't do our reputation any good to be honest'
