- I heard that there was a hedge-school in Mr James Crowe's field long ago. All the old people in Ballyhurst used to come to it. Then another school was built at the opposite side of the road and it was a great opportunity for the neighbouring people and those who went to school there were supposed to have a great education The teacher who taught in Ballyhurst National before Mr O Donoghue was a man by the name of Mr Doherty Mr Lonergan taught in a hedge school in Mr Crowe's field he afterwards lost the Faith. Miss Crowe taught in Ballyhurst National school too. Mr Casey taught in the National School in Tipperary. My grandfather went to shool to him. He was one of the best teachers of his time. He wrote Caseys book of Euclid
