School-shy teen ‘walks in one door, out another’

The frustrated parents of a school-shy teen are dropping the 14-year-old girl off at school — but she is simply walking in one door and out the other.

That is according to Daragh Hassett, solicitor for the secondary school girl’s parents, as he made a plea with Judge Patrick Durcan not to jail the couple.

At Ennis District Court, Mr Hassett said the “unmanageable” girl continues to not go to school on a regular basis in spite of Judge Durcan warning her twice that failure to do so will result in her parents being sent to jail.
