Back to school for a nice Ballyduff home

SCHOOL’s out at Ballyduff’s former national school building, right in the middle of the pretty Waterford village.

Now, a quarter century and more after it took the retirement package, its future or next period could be as permanent home, or a niche business venture.

It ceased its teaching duties in the 1970s, and has been owned since 1976 by a local businessman who used it primarily for storage.
