One of the two men behind the successful Two Norries podcast has urged teenagers who may be struggling with learning in school to ask for help to find the right path to further education.

Timmy Long, who lived a chaotic life of addiction and crime before getting sober a decade ago and getting a college degree, told guests at the launch of College Awareness Week at his old secondary school in Cork City that education is critical to everybody’s story.
