Blind son praises Mum of the Year

A WOMAN who went back to school so that her blind son could learn to read was yesterday declared Mum of the Year.

Nuala Hussey from Dublin Hill, Cork, went to night school to learn Braille and then taught her 19-year-old son Trevor to use it so he could participate in mainstream education.

Day after day the selfless mother of four used to sit at the back of Trevor’s classroom in St Mary’s on The Hill in Knocknaheeny until she was sure he was able to cope on his own.
