Paul Conway did his leaving Cert in the school in 1982. He then went on to do a B.Ed. in St. Patrick’s college, Drumcondra, for primary teaching, for three years. Following a year’s teaching experience he went to the United States to do a Masters Degree in educational psychology in Boston College, which was partly financed by a scholarship. Having completed this, he returned to Ireland for a few years’ teaching in a Dublin primary school.
