They follow a nomadic or settled lifestyle; passing from village to village and are more strongly identified with the native Gaelic speaking population. Continuing their nomadic life, they would live on rough ground on the edge of the village and earn money there as tinsmiths, hawkers, horse dealers or fishing for pearls. Many found seasonal employment on farms, e.g. at the berry picking or during harvest.
