   Here is an extract from a poem which James Flynn wrote in praise of Tullybeg College.

   Tullybeg College.

   I am a speculatin labouring lad
   That rambles up and down
   Following the rural course of life
   Though fortune seems to frown
   Curiousity did me entice along the Rahan Road
   To view each lordly structure ther
   and Mansions place of abode.........
   [This is all that can be remembered]
