Greenmount Industrial School - Cork Ireland 1918 - 1923

Hi there, My Grandfather Francis Patrick Flanagan DOB : 23/06/1907 and his older brother Patrick John Flanagan DOB: 20/01/1906 were sent from Stradbally, Queen's County magistrates.to St Josephs Green Mount Industrial School , Cork on 21st December 1918. They were not released until their 16th birthday.

The Presentation brothers ( Catholic brothers who ran the Industrial school told me their crime was larceny. Held under Section 58 ( 3 ) - Childrens act we think. We would love to find the official magistrates records from 21st December 1918. Francis Flanagan was released 22nd June 1923. Patrick John 19th January 1922.

There seems to be a lot online. Karen needs to work her way through all the sites. One old entry suggests she needs to approach the Dept of Education.
