Place & story
Schools and their patrons
In 1837 Samuel Lewis described three Protestant parochial schools in Desertserges that also admitted some Catholic children. Captain Poole and the clergyman chiefly supported the school at Kilrush. The curate, Charles Bernard, supported the other two, including a school he had built at Moulnarogue in 1835. About 180 boys and girls attended these three schools collectively. Lewis separately noted pay schools associated with the Catholic chapel. [2]
