For the most part I have good memories of time at Loreto boarding school, Killarney. Excuse a bit of reminiscence.Â
It was the late 1950s and Loreto shaped part of my education for a couple of years. A highlight or two might include weekend walks to Muckross Park in the spring time and attending my first and only football game — a Munster final when the two Mickos were playing for Kerry — the equivalent of the Cliffords and Co today. We could say it was an inclusive style of education.
