At a meeting of the committee of the Limerick Lancasterian School held at the Commercial Buildings on 13th January 1815.
Robert Maunsell, Esq. in the Chair
Resolved, that we receive with feelings of satisfaction and gratitude the magnificent offer of the Trustees of the late Widow Banks‘s Charitable Bequest to contribute the sum of one hundred pounds towards the erection of a female school on the Lancasterian plan, whenever this committee determine on building a school room for the purpose; and that we entertain the most confident hopes that the liberality of our fellow citizens will enable us in a short time to determine on that highly important measure; important, as it would comprise not only instruction in reading, writing and arithmetic, but other parts of education necessary for females of the humbler classes of society such as useful needle work, &c.
