Hi Cathy, Have long enjoyed your posts from the Galway papers. As you seem to have read through many I thought perhaps you might help me with the following. Have you ever run into any articles about the retirement or firing/hiring of teacher's in the county's local National Schools during the nineteenth century? I'm wondering if the newspaper's might be an avenue for me to explore. Though my time will be very limited when I return to Dublin, should such a matter had been deemed newsworthy back then, I would take some of that precious time and devote it to a newspaper search as I have some specific dates. Appreciate your expertise in this matter, Thanks for all you contribute, Tim --------------------------------- Post your free ad now! Yahoo! Canada Personals

At any rate, everything I have read in the papers so far is transcribed and on my Ireland Old News website. I don't remember too much about teachers or the National School System. Sorry. Try a search on the website and see if you can come up with anything. Cathy http://www.IrelandOldNews.com/

What year did National School System start? 1833. Pádraig (the Paddy that was) System firewalled with ZoneAlarm Pro, regularly caulked with Microsoft Critical Updates and scanned with AdAware and Spy Sweeper. System and outgoing e-mails scanned with automatically-updated Norton Antivirus 2002. And a hearty thank-you to those who take similar precautions and thereby prevent their address books from being hijacked and used to send me spam, viruses, worms, scumware and other undesirable stuff. -----Original Message----- From: IRL-GALWAY-L-request@rootsweb.com [mailto:IRL-GALWAY-L-request@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Cathy Joynt Labath Sent: 07 May 2005 23:49 To: IRL-GALWAY-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [GALWAY] question for Cathy Joynt Labath about Galway newspapers : Have you ever run into any articles about the retirement or firing/hiring of teacher's in the county's local National Schools during the nineteenth century? : What year did National School System start?
