Ann Fitzpatrick from Ballybar, Tinryland was told in April by Carlow VS that her daughter, Carol Ann, couldn’t attend the school for health and safety reasons and advised her that she should be home-schooled instead.
Carol Ann only developed epilepsy back in November when she attended a school disco which, her mother believes, triggered the condition. From November to mid-April the teenager suffered about 14 seizures while still at school, which led management to tell the Fitzpatricks that she would have to be educated at home.
