  1. My father told me that he heard it old in his youth about a school at Derradda in the townland of Coragh. It was a mudwall house with a thatched roof. The teachers name was Master O Brien.
    There were no pens or pencils used but the children used to write with quills. There were no seats and the children had to sit on turf. There was no Irish taught and the books the had were in the form of what we call a newspaper at present.
