  1. About one hundred years ago there was an old school in Miss O'Neills yard. This school was thatched and there were two teachers in it, their names were Master and Mrs Nolan. The Master was born in Bunclody and the mistress was born in Clologue.
    The education was addition, subtraction, grammar, mensuration, reading and writing, long and short division.
    The writing they did on slates. The pay for the Master was sixty pounds and fifty pounds for the Mistress.
    There was another old school in Kilrush graveyard and there was no Master in it, but a Mistress and her name was Miss King, very little Irish was spoken at that time. The teacher never slapped the scholars. There were first standard fifth and second standard fifth and first standard sixth and second standard sixth.
