Trinity course changes lives of students

SHANE KELLY has graduated from a course at Trinity College Dublin which has changed his life.

He was one of 13 students who received their certificates in contemporary living after a two year-course at Trinity’s National Institute for Intellectual Disability. It is now in its third year and has been so successful that more than 100 students have started similar courses at University College Cork, Dundalk Institute of Technology, Waterford IT, Mary Immaculate College in Limerick and St Angela’s College in Sligo.

Shane and his classmates received their awards last night and celebrated achievements that included the exhibition of some of theirpaintings at the Hunt Museum in Limerick earlier this year.
