  1. Old Schools

    Share Share Post
    Hedge schools existed in this district long ago. Hedge schools was the local name for them. The school was at the junction in Cloonfree East. The teacher name was Barry Igoe. The school was not carried on in farmers houses. The teachers lodged in their own houses. Irish was not spoken or taught. The pupils wrote on slates with chalk.
