Swimming the length of the Shannon for Pieta House

“If I could help just one person with it, it would be worth the whole swim,” said a 61-year-old man who will swim the length of the River Shannon for charity this September.

A former teacher at St Thomas’ school in Jobstown and then principal of Our Lady of Good Counsel BNS in Drimnagh, Aidan Knight was looking for “a new challenge” after retiring a few years ago.
