Mairead Ryan was born in 1885 in Belfast.
Her parents were hardworking and loving.
Mairead did not enjoy school and left to enrol in a secretarial school.
On completion of her course,
she got a position at the shipyards.
In 1902, Mairead married Declan Tobin,
who was working at the shipyards where she worked as a typist.
They had 5 children:
Caitlin b. 1904
Eamon b. 1906
Liam b. 1907
Fintan b. 1909

For reflection ...
Mairead did not enjoy school.
What responsibility do we have to meet the differing needs
of the children in our care?
Can a single model of education enable each person
to discover their talents and help them become the best they can be?
