Possibly Great Strand Street school (Christian Brothers) for boys (where Arthur Griffith was educated) and for girls, I think Margaret Aylward had a Holy Faith school close to the Brothers' school from 1863. It was the St. Brigid's orphanage school but they probably would have taken locals too.
They would certainly be the closest schools.
Somewhere to start, at least.
