  1. My parents remember of an old school that was in our barn. There was a travelling teacher teaching in it. He used to stay in the village houses. The scholars of the village used to come to him.

  2. There was an old school in Curragh. It was near my house. It was up with sods and it was thatched with straw. There was no other school made at that time. My Grandmother went to that school. A long time ago. It is not to be seen in that spot. It was not a very big school. It was not slated school.
