- There is an old school in Kilahy in the parish of Graine. This old school is situated at the bottom of a hill. There is nothing left of it now but three stone walls. The children went to it in the Penal time.
It was in the night that the children went to it. The name of the teacher that was teaching them was Mr. Grace. There was no blackboard in the school at that so the master got a big stone and wrote on it with a slate pencil. The pupils had no copies or pencils either, so they got slates and wrote on them with slate pencils.
The chief subjects they learned were the three r's, Reading, Writing, and Arithmetic. Each pupil payed the master by giving him a penny or twopence every day.
