Whilst crossing a Meld in Drumcunnig, Abbeydorney, a few days ago, Maurice Hayes, a youth, was attacked by five greyhounds and a Kerry Blue. It is stated that though young Hayes sustained injuries to both his legs and arms, still they are not of a serious nature.
( I haven’t heard the word meld used like this before. Is it still in use?)

Mary, I think a Meld could be a marshy area between arrable fields. I know from my years with the CSO that marshland is quite common in the Abbeydorney area. Meld doesn’t appear in Hiberno-English dictionary.
