Mr Robinson was told by Mr Pratt to build a school in Moylaw, Crossmolina, Co Mayo and he did so.Shortly after it was built it was converted into a Presbyterian school. Miss Joynt of Ballycastle, Co Mayo was the first to teach school there. She taught school only for a very short time as there was a very bad attendance, with the result that the school was left there by the party that owned it for a number of years.
