School of Rock’s true colours

The principal may be caught between a rock and a hard place, but his 400-plus pupils are on a winner no matter which side prevails in the All Ireland hurling final replay tomorrow evening.

Rock Kirwan, who is principal at Kilrush NS in Co Clare, is a Corkman and is surrounded by a sea of saffron and blue.

Despite being heavily out-numbered he’s enjoying the good natured banter in the lead-up to the big match.
