But for the twins, who have Down syndrome, the big day wouldn't have been possible without the vital support of Down Syndrome Ireland (DSI), according to their mother Maria Brady (45). The pair were due to start junior infants at Holy Rosary Primary school in Tallaght last year. "They were walking around like they owned the place,” she said, noting how they got very excited about their first day of school while window-shopping for new school uniforms recently. It aims to raise €500,000 to support children’s charities including Down Syndrome Ireland, Barnardos, Autism Assistance Dogs Ireland and ISPCC Childline.
