‘Fathers must be more involved in children’s lives’

FATHERS must get more involved in the lives of their children, Education Minister Mary Hanafin urged yesterday.

She was speaking at the Patrick MacGill Summer School in Glenties, Co Donegal, where four members of the county’s youth council had outlined the kind of country they want in 2030.

Ms Hanafin said more and more young people talk about their fathers not playing a part in their upbringing but this needs to change.
