Miss Fisher taught higher classes in Main St. Her school which would seem ed[crossed out] to have been well equipped and well attended was in the house now occupied by Mr. Martin Nolan Mary St. Upper.
The writer's mother attended Miss Fisher's school -- till the Cormelites got permission to teach in New Ross (see page 92)At Rosemount school for "fools" or imbeciles
Before workhouses or asylums were built, a gentleman named Funchion kept nine or ten foolish boys (imbeciles) at his own expense in the big house at Rosemount. It is thought that the place now owned by "Places" at Rosemount is the site. There were no places of refuge for the afflicted then.
This genleman devoted his life and fortune to the care of these poor afflicted ones.
