| Skeheenarinky has come of age.
This year we celebrated the 150th anniversary of the local
National school and one reporter described the weekend as the
'best organised, most elegant, most expensive' anniversary weekend
ever seen in the region. We find ourselves agreeing!
The book 'Hard Days and Happy Days' (by Ed O'Riordan and Karol
DeFalco) was launched by Dr. Garret Fitzgerald on the Friday night
in conjunction with the opening of the Skeheenarinky School Museum
which was ably put together by Imelda Hyland. That evening saw an
estimated 700 people attending in the school grounds.
21 November 2008 The CD of Old Skeheenarinky Photos is available for 10 Euros The DVD of the anniversary weekend is available for 20 Euros email Karol for details karolde@yahoo.com or phone 052 67935 ((353 52 67935))

This is 'Galty Cottage' and used to be the Skeheenarinky Teacher's house. It is known locally as 'Morrisseys' after Mrs. Morrissey who taught at the school and lived in this house with her family for almost fifty years. The house, like the school, is 150 years old and is marked as 'Galty Cottage' on early Ordnance Survey maps. (Picture taken from School grounds) |
