College takes a shine to Sheen

AN Irish university said yesterday it would be happy to accept Hollywood actor Martin Sheen as a student after he revealed plans to study in Ireland.

Sheen said that after he retires from the fictional White House in the long-running television series West Wing, he would be keen to study in the west of Ireland.

A spokeswoman for National University of Ireland (NUI), Galway, said: “Obviously we would be quite happy to accommodate him.”
