    My Mother remembers before the National School was built in Cashel. It was a long thatched school. Where it stood there is a big bush that would cover a half an acre of land. The names of the teachers were Mat Brennann and Oner Reilly. Every scholar used to bring a sheaf of straw to thatch the school. They were about three hundred scholars going to school there. The scholars used to pay the teacher every quarter.
