Louisburgh National School, like many schools in Ireland, took part in the collection and collation of stories, poems, fairytales, old cures and much more from 1938 to 1940. This was achieved by asking pupils to interview their parents and grandparents as well as their neighbours to find out about their beliefs and their local history stories and record these in their own handwriting to be submitted to the Folklore  Commission. These writings can now be accessed at duchas.ie and we have below the entries for louisburghns. as submitted by the teacher at the time, Thomas J. Morahan.
