Summary
The Cliar Sheanachain staying in people's houses.
The Cliar Sheanachain travelled around and stayed in people's homes. They would stay indefinitely and the only way to be rid of them was to cap the rhyme they called out in the morning. They were said to have special powers. They recognised that a young woman soon to give birth would have twins; a boy and a girl.
