School Daze: Colm Mac Gearailt - ‘I was a musical messer’

I went to primary school at Scoil Eoin Baiste, Lios Póil, in Co Kerry. I have a vivid memory of going on a walking tour in fourth class to see some Ogham stones and learning all about the history behind them. I was fascinated by it.

I went to CBS in Dingle until fifth year of secondary school and I remember my first day extremely well. I remember so distinctly standing in line at the bell, waiting to be shown our class, with a bag too full of books, and noticing just how big the sixth years looked! I was probably terrified.
