Trinity College or Dublin University in the Republic of Ireland dates from the sixteenth century. However, during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries many Irish students went abroad to Italy Spain and France to be educated as Catholics forming the majority of the population were forbidden to have schools. During that time in Ireland many teachers operated outside the law. Known as Hedge Schoolmasters they taught their pupils by the hedgerows in summer and in hillside huts in winter due to a lack of buildings of their own. They managed to teach Latin and Greek well. Without texts masters and pupils had to rely on memory. Not until the nineteenth century did these banned 'hedge' schools disappear when a system of public education was finally approved by the British Government.
