Farming special - Day 4: ‘Five years ago I could barely read or write’

Five years ago, Tony Moloney could barely read or write — but this week, he’s telling people how his life has changed since taking classes and he teaches maths to other adults.

For most of his life, 57-year-old Tony says he managed to get through without letting anyone know how poor his literacy skills were.

“I bluffed my way through a lot of things, and my wife Deirdre helped me a lot,” he recalls of his life before going back to classes.
