Last August, I visited my cousin Michael's farm in

Derrylahan. It was his father's farm and our grandfather's

and our great grandfather's. Within sight of the farm

they are building new homes on the sight of the old

schoolhouse. Michael said that the school was burned by

the Black and Tan's when the IRA used it as a headquarters

Can anyone tell me anymore about the incident?

I read Kathleen Hegarty Thorne's book and Grenham's

history of Moore parish. Thorne doesnt mention it and

there is just a picture of the ruined school in Grenham's book.
