In-school therapies have begun at Munster’s largest special school thanks to its marathon campaign.

St Killian’s Special School on Cork’s northside welcomed staff from private therapy service provider, The Sunflower Clinic, into the school on Tuesday as they began offering a range of vital supports to the school's 104 students, many of whom have complex needs.
