Pupils walk the walk to earn Green Flag

Rugby star Donncha O’Callaghan walked the walk yesterday for a green school with the wow factor.

The towering Munster second row said he was delighted to help the students of Scoil an Spioraid Naoimh girls school in Bishopstown, Cork, launch its Walk on Wednesday (WOW) “walking bus” initiative.

He told the students, including his niece, Rachel O’Callaghan, that walking is good for their physical and mental health, and he threw down the environmental gauntlet to the nearby boys’ school, where he was taught.
