Galway was originally known as ‘Streamstown’ as the river divided into a series of streams as it moved through the city. All that was to change in the mid-18th century when works were undertaken to improve drainage, to facilitate navigation and to provide waterpower for the many mills in Galway. The primary purpose in improving drainage was to reduce winter water levels in the areas of flooded land which was an ongoing problem.

It had opened in 1852 with 400 pupils, many of whom were Catholics. This proved too much for the then Catholic bishop who set out to make way for explicitly Catholic education in Galway. He invited the Mercy Sisters and the Patrician Brothers to set up schools here and made it a ‘reserved sin’ for Catholic parents to send their children to the Model School. This resulted in 199 pupls withdrawing and meant the end of multi-denominational education in the city.
