  1. There is a small house on the farm of Timothy McNamara in the townsland of Cullina in the parish of Cappamore. This house was a hedge school in former days. It was built by William McNamara 150 years ago.
    The teacher there was called "The Blade of Munster". He was succeeded by a man named O'Donnell who afterwards became National Teacher in Cappamore.
    The surname of "The Blade of Munster" was Hayes. It is not know why he was called "The Blade of Munster".
