- Long ago there was a house in Lyre, Duagh and Mr. Thomas Molyneaux owned it. He was a schoolmaster and he used to make that house the school. Every day he used get all the children around him and teach them. His wife was a teacher also. He used to sleep in the house every night.This house was a church also and the priest used to say Mass in the house every Sunday. They had a big press in the house and they used to make that their Altar. All the people used to go there to mass every Sunday. It is a farmer's house now.
