'I love my country, but my country doesn't love my son' says Cork father of deaf child

Andrew Geary said that while there had been “reasonable access” to education for his 12-year-old son Callum for the past eight years, he was years behind his twin Donnacha

The Cork father of a completely deaf child has called on the country to cherish all children equally and for them to be treated as equal citizens.

Speaking on The Ryan Tubridy Show on RTÉ, Andrew Geary, who works as a Garda sergeant, vowed that he would continue to campaign for his son to be “a full citizen of this State.”
