Roll up as Kean buys 500 circus tickets for children

Children from disadvantaged backgrounds will be among 500 Cork youngsters who will get a free day out at the circus next year thanks to solicitor to the stars, Gerald Kean.

It emerged yesterday that Mr Kean had handed the tickets over to the Lord Mayor of Cork, Cllr Catherine Clancy last Friday.

They are for a performance of Fosset’s Circus, which is due to take place in the city next June.
