Students take long way round to gig for charity

TWO students have been given backstage passes to Slane by Lord Henry Mountcharles after completing a 200-mile charity walk.

Stephen Broekhuizen, aged 23, and Ruairí O’Hagan, 20, have raised more than €10,000 for the Alzheimer’s Society of Ireland.

“It came up as a joke, saying that we’d walk to Slane. Then someone said we should do it for charity,” said Stephen Broekhuizen, from Blackrock, Co Cork.
