Principals asked to have 'no homework day' in memory of Cork schoolgirl

Béibhinn O'Connor's parents Irene and Eoin are asking principals to row in behind their efforts to raise money for the Make a Wish Foundation.

Nine-year-old Béibhinn O'Connor passed away on September 16.

School principals nationwide are being asked to have a ‘no homework day’ in exchange for pupils doing random acts of kindness in order to raise funds in memory of a nine-year-old girl who died after open-heart surgery earlier this year.

Béibhinn O'Connor, from Riverstick in Co Cork, who had a rare congenital heart defect survived the major surgery.
