Help..info about a school
« on: Friday 04 June 10 20:52 BST (UK) »
Hi all,
I have recently checked the 1901 census and i think my G grandfather attended this school .
St Kevins Reformatory School Glencree Co Wicklow.
Please could some one advise about what type of school this would be and the reason he could have been there?
Many thanks Pat

Here's a bit about the history of Glencree which mentions the school (now Glencree Reconciliation Centre)-
