- Iheard that there was a hedge, school in Mr James Crowe's field, opposite Mr O'Ryan's house long ago. All the old people in Ballyhurst used to come to it. Then an-other school the present building was built at the opposite side of the road further up and it was a great opportunity for the neighbouring people and those who went to school there were supposed to have a great education. Another school one of the first National Schools was built at Ballagh which is in the parish of Bansha.
