In 1957, a Roman Catholic secondary school was founded in the troubled republican stronghold of Ballymurphy. The school developed a strong relationship with the local community but was closed in 1988 without any consultation. Ex-teacher, Seamus Heaney, ex-pupil and footballer Gerry Armstrong and Father Des Wilson look at the history of the school and the way the "troubles" affected it.
