A seven-year-old boy has braved the icy waters around his native Cobh, Co Cork every day for the last month with his sea swimming raising €3,445 for new sports attire for his whole school.
Hunter Halpin, who is a second class pupil at Gaelscoil Uí Éigeartaigh, was joined in the water on the last day of his monthly challenge by his teacher Declan O'Connell and a couple of the parents from the school.
His mother Clodagh said that about 60 people turned out to support Hunter this morning. She admitted that the poor weather this month was a "challenge in itself.”
