VIDEO: Great people at core of Irish Guide Dogs for Blind as they celebrate 40th anniversary year

President Michael D Higgins and wife Sabina yesterday visited the headquarters and training centre of Irish Guide Dogs for the Blind in Cork to mark the organisation’s 40th anniversary year.

The visit was a celebration of the accomplishments of the charity in its 40 years of existence and an opportunity to recognise their community of supporters who have made this possible.

Republic of Ireland assistant manager Roy Keane was also on hand to mark the occasions. A dog lover, he has supported the organisation’s annual Shades fundraising campaign since 2003.
