I went back learning things that you would have probably learned in primary school, like the ABC's. I didn't know my ABC's at that age'' 

Cork native Timmy Long lived a very turbulent life up until the time he was sent to prison for a serious crime. Having no previous education and struggling with addiction for most of his life, Timmy decided to turn his life around and learned how to read at the age of 32.  7 years later, Timmy recently graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in Construction Management.

Timmy spoke to Dermot and Dave about his inspiring story.
