  1. There was an old school in a barn of Farrell Gallagher's in Finisklin. It was a local teacher who taught in it. His name was John Morris. The children had to sit on big stones. They had no blackboards and they wrote with quills. The master got only a few shillings from the children or the people for teaching.
