From your description it seems that the Christian Brothers were quite “leather-happy” and that CP was the order of the day in Irish schools. But you mention only boys, was it the same for girls, or were they more lenient with girls? I imagine that girls were taught by nuns, and that boys and girls were separated in secondary schools, as is traditionally with Catholic schools.
It is strange that we hear so little about Irish schools, especially when as you say CP was so rampant there. But I did read an autobiography by I forgot who a long time ago who was brought up in Irish schools and confirms what you say that CP was regular and disipline strict.
Btw, when was school CP banned in Ireland, was it earlier or later than in Britain?
