    Long ago the teachers taught in barns. One of these schools was in Rathnagussone at a bush in Thomas Grady's land. All the children of the sorrounding villages attended that school. The old people say that it was the late Pat Fylands Grandfather who taught there. Before this school was built there was an old school where Mrs Mc Grath's house now stands. After the old school there was a barrack there. Old Peter OGrady taught in that school.
