Animal group hits out at school turkey project

Limerick students will feast on nine free-range Christmas turkeys next week thanks to the hard work of their classmates who reared the birds in their schoolyard coop.

This is all part of the Crescent College Comprehensive special project aimed at giving city students hands-on experience of life on a farm.

As part of their Transition Year programme 150 students fed and cared for the turkeys during this term.
