Liam only gets one hour of schooling each day

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.

Six-year-old Liam Cunneen from Upper Glanmire, Co Cork, has been receiving just an hour of schooling a day since April.

A pupil of St Columba’s National School in Douglas, Liam started back to school with all the other pupils last week, but was once again restricted to just one hour a day — a situation expected to continue for the foreseeable future.
