I went to Goleen national school. There were two classrooms,…read moreone of which had a big roaring fire (or so I perceived it then) and the other classroom for older children was a fridge! There was a lot of poverty around in those days and the lady teacher would boil a kettle on the fire and supply tea and bread and jam to those who came to school without breakfast. She was a wonderful, kind, lady who I will never forget. That's about it. I was a lousy student and often got the cane (from the other teacher of course).

Fantastic experience, put my mind and nerves at rest immediately and explained things with great…read moredetail and patience - thanks so much Mike! You can contact Mike on: Tel: 087 976 6161 or Email: charlevilledrivingschool@yahoo.ie

My friend and I had a really fun time exploring this campus. We went there on Sunday, so…read moreunfortunately, most of the campus was closed, but not the stone corridors! These corridors features ancient tombstone dating back to the 2nd century A.D. Also, make sure to stop by the IRA Volunteers Memorial at the part of campus that used to be the old Cork Gaol. The most fun we had was sneaking into open classrooms and conference rooms. Our favorite was a large conference room filled wall-to-wall with encyclopedias. Yeah, I suppose the intended goal of those open doors wasn't so two yanks could sneak around historic buildings and breathtaking conference rooms, but well, it was certainly the outcome. UCC was easily the best campus we visited in Ireland.

COLLEGE OF COMMERCE The Cork College of Commerce, which has…read moreprovided a second chance for many over the years, was established in 1908 and is now the largest post-leaving certificate college in Ireland. In my days, it was known as the School of Commerce. Now under the watchful eye of the Further Education and Training Awards Council (FETAC), the aims are still much the same: to help leaving cert students make the jump from second to third level and to help other adults continue their further education. It is highly regarded by the third level colleges and institutions of technology and has a long time close relationship with most of the professional bodies in business. Running both full time day courses, and a night school, the College offers hundreds of courses across computing, business studies, office administration, applied languages, health studies, beauty therapy, complementary therapy, childcare, fashion, travel, tourism, adult Leaving Certificate, professional courses, leisure courses, repeat for honours, and general interest courses.

"Agri Aware works closely with teachers and students throughout the country, both at primary and secondary school level. We raise awareness of agriculture through curriculum-linked resources. Our ethos is to entertain whilst educating, ensuring children are informed about the importance of the farming and agricultural world around them." That's the official blurb but it was much more down to earth in Midleton. Here, Agri Aware brought their Mobile Farm, a bunch of farm animals, to meet the kids, not just the younger generation either, I hasten to add. Ducks and hens and their young were petted and admired as were the goats and calves. Enjoyed it myself! This Munster area Agri Aware Mobile Farm is owned and managed by Claire Stack.

MAYFIELD SLI NA SLAINTE The Mayfield Sli Na Slainte starts,…read moreand ends, by the local Community School, with a good part of the walk taking you through the Glen Recreational Park. I followed the refreshing route this frosty foggy morning. The frost and fog were clearing as I reached the park, having gone down the Old Youghal Road before turning right at Dillon's Cross and entering the park by Keating's on the Ballyhooley Road, where there is a car park. Five or six people were out walking their dogs around the 10.00am mark. The corporation workers were coming and going from their depot in the park and some were working on the new entrance. The walk itself, which takes you close to Blackpool, totals 5km, as do all the Sli Na Slainte walks. Max and I enjoyed the excursion and I took some photos, all in the park.
