Cork full-back Clancy and Kinsale students producing protective equipment for frontline health workers

Helping to manufacture and distribute the protective equipment from Kinsale Community School are engineering teacher Tom Clancy, students Oisin Coyle, Shane Collins, Dylan Collins, Garda Frances Murphy, and principal Fergal McCarthy.

When Kinsale Community School closed its doors on Thursday, March 12, Cork footballer Tom Clancy did not expect to find himself back in his engineering classroom as early as the first week of April.

The school, it probably should be noted, has not defied Government orders in removing the lock on the front door. Its teaching staff, as with every other secondary school across the country, continue to deliver classes online from home.
