In 1864, the House of Commons (in London) did a Return of Name and Locality of Convent and Monastic Schools in connection with Commissions of National Education in Ireland for 1863.
Millstreet Presentation National School is listed on page 5 of the report, which lists the lay teachers and monitors how much they were paid, how much the school was paid, and the number of pupils and attendance. Interestingly attendance rate was at 45%, and while it seems low, it was actually quite high for a rural school of the time (I doubt they’d get get away with that these days!!!). What is also interesting is that the lay teachers are all names that are still in Millstreet. Here are the details:
Roll #: 2,278 / Parish: Drishane / School: Millstreet – female / Order: Presentation Nuns
Amount Paid to School – Premiums & Gratitudes 1963: £6
Amount Paid to School – On account of average attendance 1963: £42 10s
# Pupils on Roll: 446 (all Roman Catholic)
# Average attendance: 201 (45%) continue reading…

Last year there were 218 enrollments, with 244 this year, it is expected to rise even further in the coming years. There is an urgent need for a new classroom and two learning support rooms. The Board of Management of the school have applied for Capital Funding but with the new school year already well underway, this process cannot be delayed.
“I have called on the Minister for Education to continue reading…
