The mother of four is now able to balance study and family life.
A Laois mother says it's a dream come true to get back in education to pursue her dream career.
Isabel Rafter is making the comments after taking up a Tertiary degree course, which allows her to start a university course in a local further education college.
The mum of four is now under taking a software development course in Portlaoise College which is free and will start in SETU Carlow next September.
Ms. Rafter says this has made it easier for her to balance study and family life:
