Gaelic and Tennis
Back to school means back to sports! The children in 3rd and 4th class will have tennis lessons, thanks to the ‘Butt Hall Tennis Club’ and Oisin is back for our Gaelic lessons on Monday with thanks to ‘Red Hughs’.
The earliest mention of Gleneely N.S. that we have come across is recorded in the Ordnance Survey Memoirs of Ireland – Parishes of County Donegal 2 1835-36, Mid, West & South Donegal Vol.39.
The old Gleneely School was built in 1847 at a cost of £70 on land owned by John Bradley. It was a one roomed building with a fire at each end.
Two teachers taught there one at each end with their children facing them. It was resold back to the Bradley family in 1959 at a cost of £200 and is still owned by Henry Bradley to this day.
In 1958 a new building was constructed down the road on the present site.
