  1. 1869. In the year 1869 Neddy Cullen taught in a hedge-school in Ballytarsna. The school was in a field at present owned by John Gleeson, opposite Michael Loobys beside the main Dublin-Cork road. He taught the pupils to read the first book, taught spelling, and some simple arithmetic.
    Two pence per week was his charge for each pupil. Slates and pencils were used, generally roofing slates for houses and the slate pencils were to be had in Cashel.
