- Long ago there was a lot of schools here and one was in Tom Mc Inerneys barn. The teacher was John Kennedy of Knocknahanee. There was another school in Knockatunna in John Walshes barn the teacher was Terence Mc Fadden.
Every school or used to go to school about the age of twelve years and used to stop at the age of eighteen. The masters used to pinch the scholars to punish them. Every scholar used to bring two sods of turf every morning and a penny every Monday morning.
