'''St. Martin's Primary School, Garrison St. Martin's PS is a Catholic Maintained Primary School in the village of Garrison in County Fermanagh. It is located in the parish of Inis Muighe Samh which is one of the largest parishes geographically in the Diocese of Clogher. The current enrolment in the school is 92.

History Before the school was built a number of smaller schools dotted the rural landscape around the locality. Many of the schools were in poor condition and the numbers attending were declining. The parish, in consultation with the Department of Education decided that a new, modern facility was needed in a central location. This marked the demise of many of the small primary schools. After funding from the Department and a huge fundraising campaign by the parish, St. Martin's Primary School was opened in May 1973.
