The principal of a primary school is worried that parents of his pupils are going hungry to feed their kids. Now, the school has set up a foodbank donation point and clothing pickup scheme to help families most in need.
Paddy McCabe, who has been principal of St Oliver Plunkett for a decade, has faced many challenges during his time in education. Now, his latest quest is to do all he can to minimise stress and angst among families being crippled by the cost of living crisis.
Mr McCabe, who grew up a stone throw away from the school, has been overwhelmed by the generosity of the local community. What was once an empty box at the doors of the school is now overflowing with donations of food and toiletries.
