Description

Áine Mae Crowley is the writer behind Episode 51 of Maddie and Triggs, titled 'Sound Tennis'.

The Lahinch native, who lost her eyesight due to diabetic retinopathy, uses her episode to promote sports inclusion and to encourage greater understanding of impairment and sight loss among young children.

The series, which is also available on the BBC, forms part of a broader effort to support education and awareness through engaging storytelling for smallies everywhere.

Áine Mae Crowley joined Alan Morrissey on Tuesday's Morning Focus to tell us more.
