Limerick girls’ school renamed in memory of Nano Nagle

Anne Sheridan

23 Oct 2014 12:00 PM

IT HAS been known as the Presentation and the Pres, but now the Presentation secondary school for girls has been renamed after Nano Nagle.

Some 310 girls attend the school, which can trace its roots back to 1837, and which will now be known as Colaiste Nano Nagle.

Speaking at the renaming ceremony, principal Marion Cummins said she believes it is important to commemorate and honour the life of Nano Nagle, who founded the Presentation Sisters.

Born into a wealthy family in north Cork in 1718, by the time of her death in 1784 she had set up a network of schools.

“With the forthcoming closure of two Catholic girls’ schools in the city, there will be a decrease in provision of Catholic education in Limerick, so it is important that we remain strong here in Sexton Street, and continue to carry on with the great work in the school,” said Ms Cummins.

The Salesians school is to close in 2015, and merge with St Nessan’s community college.

While the school’s population peaked in the 1990s - after they were granted permission to offer the leaving Certificate in 1955 -school numbers declined, but in recent years have climbed back to over 300 pupils.

Ms Cummins welcomed the recent announcement by Government to recruit some 1,700 teachers, but noted that Minister for Education Jan O’Sullivan will faces some challenges ahead with the new Junior cycle programme, but added that she hopes that it won’t be “too long” before progress is made.

Lelia Fitzgerald, chairperson of board of management, said while “we have changed the name, the ethos of the Presentation order is still very much alive.”

Noreen McManus, a past pupil of the school and wife of wealthy philanthropist JP McManus, presented bursaries worth a total of €7,000 to three deserving students to start them off in college life - Ciara Judge, Anastasia Novakova, and Mariola Augustynek.

In a short speech at a podium in the PE hall, Mrs McManus jokingly remarked: “Hopefully if Jan does a little bit better, maybe I can do a little bit better.” Her husband, JP, who attended the nearby CBS school on Sexton Street, donated close to €2m to charities last year alone, and over some €56m since 2001.

A look back at Imagallamh, the Keough-Naughton Irish Seminar 2024

Published: August 23, 2024

Author: Barry McCrea and Clíona Ní Ríordáin

The first Imagallamh–Kylemore Summer School in Irish Studies took place in Kylemore and Dublin from 9-20 June 2024, under the direction of Professor Barry McCrea and ND Kylemore Director Lisa Caulfield.

Imagallamh, which relaunches the Keough Naughton Institute for Irish Studies Irish Seminar, seeks to emphasize international and comparative elements of Irish Studies, and to bring the next cohort of scholars in the field into meaningful dialogue with each other and with key figures in Irish scholarship, arts, and society.

"This summer school provided us world-class facilities and incredible faculty members from different institutions who are experts in their fields, the program also allowed me to forge deep ties with other Ph.D. students from all over the world. Besides, I did enjoy the balance of structured seminars/lectures and social events." —Summer school 2024 participant

All participants receive a full scholarship, covering tuition, travel, accommodation, meals, and books. Any Notre Dame Ph.D. student enrolled in the Irish Studies Minor is automatically eligible for Imagallamh; all other places are decided by competitive application. We received over 80 applications from Ph.D. students worldwide. The 20 students who were selected to attend the summer school came from Argentina, Turkey, the Czech Republic, France, Italy, Spain, Germany, Ireland, the UK, the USA, and Canada. The participants included students of history, literature, linguistics, cultural theory, and other disciplines, ranging chronologically from the medieval period to the present.

Four prominent contemporary writers were in residence with the group in Kylemore: former Ireland Professor of Poetry Eiléan Ní Chuilleanáin, much lauded first-time historical novelist Ferdia Lennon, New York Times book of the year author Paul Murray (also short-listed for the Booker Prize in 2024), Pulitzer Prize winning former Poet Laureate of the US, Natasha Tretheway.

The faculty included Notre Dame academics, Peter McQuillan, Clíona Ní Ríordáin, and Rory Rapple, as well as guest faculty Máire Ní Mhaonaigh (Cambridge), Brian Clancy (Limerick), and Wesley Hutchinson (Sorbonne Nouvelle).

The first half of the summer school was devoted to the languages of Ireland in literature and took place at Notre Dame Kylemore. In preparation, students had read two novels: The Bee Sting, by Paul Murray, and Ferdia Lennon’s Glorious Exploits, and two poetry collections, one by Eiléan Ní Chuilleanáin, The Map of the World, and the other by Natasha Tretheway, Native Guard.

Barry McCrea delivered the opening lecture on the languages of Ireland. The rest of the week at Kylemore involved morning seminars with Professor Clíona Ní Ríordáin, which explored the question of Irish literary language across the diverse range of assigned texts. In the afternoons, the authors gave interviews, readings, and in the case of Natasha Tretheway, a lecture which dealt with the connections between African-American and Irish literary language. Paul Murray, conversely, spoke about the influence of American writers, especially Thomas Pynchon, on his own style. Bonds between students and visiting writers were reinforced through a variety of other activities which included a hike on the estate, an archeological and natural history tour of Omey Island, and a concert of traditional music in the Gothic Chapel.

The second strand of the school focused on historical and linguistic questions. Students stayed in Trinity College and attended morning seminars on the Anglicization of Ireland from the 15-18th century, and a series of lectures on languages in Ireland in the Middle Ages, the language of the Irish Travellers, and Ulster Scots. Other activities included a trip to the Abbey Theatre to see the play The Sugar Wife, which deals with the economic links between 19th-century Ireland and enslaved labor in the Caribbean, the launch of Francis Bacon’s Nanny by Maylis Besserie in the Hugh Lane Gallery, and a swim in the Forty Foot on Bloomsday morning.

"Imagallamh expanded my professional network and introduced me to new theories/ methodologies from which my doctoral research will undoubtedly benefit. The cultural programming was thoughtful, fun, and enhanced my understanding of both seminar discussions and assigned readings." —Summer school 2024 participant

Students prepared group responses to the events of the summer school on the 18 June, and the 19 June was devoted to their presentations.
