Sometimes dreams do come true! That was the feeling at Dunderrow National School outside Kinsale when football hero Roy Keane dropped by to everyone's surprise.

The unexpected visit came as an early Christmas present for star-struck pupils, in particular the 70-plus children in fifth and sixth class who enjoyed an hour in the company of one of the country's most famous sporting legends.
