My champion dad deserved a lot better

I RECENTLY recently buried my dad, Mick Meaney, the world underground champion.

Before the house fire in which he was badly burned I begged for home help as he was already in poor health, using two walking sticks. He was told he was "too able bodied. "

It's disgraceful that, after working hard all his life, for Cork in the County Council, that he was not entitled to any support in his old age.
