Mother of drowned Cork boy calls for government-funded preschool swimming lessons

The mother of a three-year-old Cork boy who drowned while on holiday in Spain last August has told of her anguish at the toddler’s death, and is now campaigning for government-funded swimming lessons for preschool children.

Avery James Greene was on the Costa Blanca in Spain when, unbeknownst to his family, he left their apartment on the morning of August 12, 2019, and went to the pool.
