The teachers remained in each district as rule they all had their demarcation line. It may be added that one of the last attendants at hedge school and who afterward attended a National School was Denny. M. Linehan. author of some very good local pieces and also of a novel named the "Red Spy".
Another teacher who spent a few years roving between
Newmarket and Kiskeam was Edward Walsh, one of Ireland's minor poets and whose writings appeared in the Dublin penny Journals.
