Roy Keane drops in on guide dog fundraisers

Soccer legend Roy Keane has praised schoolchildren whose heroic fundraising efforts for the Irish Guide Dogs (IGD) have helped transform lives.

The former Manchester United great, and assistant manager of the Republic of Ireland team, was speaking during a surprise visit to a Cork school with staff and dogs from the charity.

Gaelscoil Uí Ríordáin in Ballincollig won the VIP visit after taking part in the IGD’s Heroes appeal in April to mark World Autism Awareness day.
