'I don't want people to go through what I suffered when help is there'

Michael O'Shea tried everything, from the conventional to the alternative, to help cure his stammer.

Since the age of eight, he'd been trying to control his speech impediment.

It wasn't until he tried the McGuire Programme, at the age of 44, that he learned to control his problem. Today, the 50-year-old Waterford man is completely stammer-free and wants to help others to learn the technique.
