- This is a story about an old school which I heard from Martin Murray of Ballinshown, Aughrim, Ballinasloe, Co Galway.
The school I am going to tell about was situated on the side of a road known in this locality as the New Line. It was an old stone Barn with a hole in the roof for the smoke to go through. The teacher's name was Thomas Joseph, and it was to him the teacher John Loughnane, that taught school here about fifty years ago went to school. - Collector
