“As regards the school in Gortinure Séamus Browne Gortinure writes that...”
As regards the school in Gortinure Séamus Browne Gortinure writes that They(the pupils) wrote on slates with slate pencils. There were about sixty scholars going to it. It was a dwelling place before it was turned into a school. Gustavus Dobson lived in it. There is a lane leading to it from the road. The Inspectors came to examine them once a year and when the Inspector would go the master would send up to the house of John Reynolds Cloon for a creel of apples and they(the pupils) would have to run races for the apples until they were gone.
