Watch: UCC students tell us what they plan on giving up for Lent

One student said they planned on fasting every Friday

Social media, prayer and fasting were all considerations by a group of students in Cork who have discussed what they are giving up, or in some cases taking up, for Lent.

Bishop Fintan Gavin gave mass on Ash Wednesday in front of a full Honan Chapel in UCC, and afterwards, students spoke to the Irish Examiner about their plans for the 40-day period.
