Rag week funds and frolics for student bodies

STUDENTS are turning away from drink and using their feet to raise cash for charity in Galway this week.

Leading the way yesterday was National University of Ireland Galway students’ union president Tony McDonnell. He took on no less an opponent than university president Dr Iognáid Ó Muirchéartaigh in a race with a difference.

Both men took to scooters for the lunchtime Presidents Race on the city campus at lunchtime.
