A COLLEGE president helped save a man’s life yesterday after he suffered a suspected heart attack at a conferring ceremony.

Dr Michael Murphy, the president of University College Cork, was presiding over the winter graduation ceremony for business and law students in De Verre Hall in UCC’s Áras na Mac Léinn when the incident occurred.

It is understood that the man, who was among several hundred people in the hall, was a parent of one of the graduates.
