Six-year-old Liam Cunneen, a deaf schoolboy from Co Cork, is still receiving only one hour of education a day due to an apparent shortage of special needs resources in his school.

A Cork mother says her family is at breaking point because her son’s primary school will only teach him for one hour a day.

A Cork mother has admitted she is agonising over how to break the news to her daughter that she won’t be able to start primary school later this week.

A PROGRESSIVE primary school which teaches all of its 600 pupils sign language as part of the daily curriculum says the new technology it initially began using with its 20 deaf pupils two years ago has totally revolutionised the way the entire school learns.
