- About ninety six years ago, the time of the penal laws, there were hardly any National schools in Ireland except very few.
There were only hedge schools. Built with mud and a hole in the roof to let out the smoke. There was one in ... another at Hammersleys gate, another in the beech ditch in Greene's.
