Inishowen in a class of its own

DONEGAL’S Inishowen peninsula is set between two loughs, Swilly and Foyle, while Cork city’s Inishowen is set between two schools.

The detached mid-1900s four-bed home Inishowen is by the entry point to Eglantine Park in suburban Douglas, facing directly across this road to the gates of Eglantine Girls NS. There’s also a creche nearby, while directly over the back wall of Inishowen is Regina Mundi girls’ secondary school.

So, forget Alice Taylor’s To School Through Fields stories of Cork childhood, any daughter moving into Inishowen can be in school by dint of a mere wall hop in either direction.
