I left school. I couldn’t go there anymore. You know that there girl’s school up there in the top of Ballysillen? That’s where I was to go. It was far too dangerous up there. You know because of the Holy Cross attacks. That was terrible. I remember all the teachers phoning up trying to get somebody up to the school because there was a crowd of men in the road shooting fireworks and shouting and trying to get in to the school. With three and four year old kids in the classroom! Imagine fully grown men terrorizing innocent children.
