Australian coach Kevin Sheedy has named a speed-laden, new-look squad for the forthcoming International Rules Series with Ireland.

SET IN a church-run reformatory school in Ireland just before the start of World War II, Song for a Raggy Boy stars Aidan Quinn as William Franklin, the first lay teacher at St Jude’s Reformatory School.

Aidan Quinn is currently picking up good critical reviews for his performance in the generally released Song for a Raggy Boy, about the abuse of young boys in an Irish reform school in the l930s.

Another harrowing tale of abject cruelty to youngsters in a Catholic institution, circa l930s; and a film which won high praise at the Sundance Festival almost a year ago.

The Cork Film Festival will get under way on October 12 with the premiere of the Irish film, Song for a Raggy Boy, based on a true story by Patrick Galvin
