Michael Angelo O’Callaghan

We received the below email this evening. Does anyone know if the school records for Millstreet are held somewhere, and if they are accessible? or does anyone know of these O’Callaghan’s?

Dear Sir/Madam,
I’m trying to get information on my Great Uncle, Michael Angelo O’Callaghan. There is a possibility that he went to school in Millstreet. He was born in 1868, so I imagine he started school in 1873. I don’t know if records go back that far, but if they do his name might appear on them. If you can trace him, I would be more than pleased if you could inform me what Secondary school he went to, and if College, which one. Any information at all would be very much appreciated. Thank you
