Kerry Home Industrial School for Protestant Boys
Kerry Home Industrial School for Protestant Boys was an industrial school for Protestant boys in Tralee, County Kerry, Ireland. It opened in 1872 at Princes Quay Street. The school was led by Reverend Raymond Orpen, the Rector of Tralee and later a bishop. It was run with the Board of National Education and answered to the District Inspector, E. Dowling. Besides academics and music, the boys learned tailoring and knitting. The school closed in 1885, and the boys were moved to the Meath Protestant Industrial School for Boys in Blackrock, Dublin.
