Keano invites students to make their mark

IRELAND might not be playing in this month’s Euro 2004 tournament but soccer hero Roy Keane took his place in the limelight in yesterday’s Leaving Certificate.

Higher level English students saw the Manchester United captain waving to them from a section about work and play in their morning paper.

One of the questions allowed them write a letter to Mr Keane or any of the other pictured professionals, including actress Cameron Diaz and Lord of the Rings director Peter Jackson. Doubtless, many students jumped at the chance to give their view of what appeals to them or does not about the work of those in the photographs.
