Ireland wouldn't have had ANY schools if it weren't for the Catholic

do you mean to suggest that without the catholic church, the
gowvernment of ireland would not have provided some level of universal
education? that's hard to believe!

what isn't hard to believe is that catholic propaganda convinced the
irish that the church was best able to handle the job of educating the
masses. the catholic church knew well the dictum of the jesuits: "give
me the boy..."
