Job puts spring in Kidney’s step

Former Ireland rugby boss Declan Kidney, director of sport at UCC, has urged students to look after their physical and mental health.

“You can win, you can lose, you can be rich or poor, but it’s your health that really matters,” Kidney said as he launched a year-long health promotion initiative across campus yesterday.

Kidney, who was let go from the Irish rugby job in April, and appointed in August to oversee the development and administration of sport at UCC, said he was enjoying the new role.
