Current job: Presenter The Right Hook, News Talk 106, rugby analystWhat schools did you attend? Just one - Presentation College Cork
Had you any famous classmates?
Fame or noteriety? The class made a huge contribution to banking, religion and business.
Hidden talents at school? Strangely, I was too shy to stand up and speak so I was not a member of the dramatic or debating societies.
Where did you go to college?
College of Commerce, Rathmines, to study business. A career choice it took me 30 years to change.
Best subject? English - taught in the old- fashioned way with a premium on spelling, grammar and punctuation for which I am sure the sub-editors at the Sunday Independent are eternally grateful.
Worst subject? Science. I made up for my deficiencies by marrying a scientist.
Most inspirational teacher and why?
Brother Athanasious, who gave me a love of Shakespeare, rugby and a belief in myself.
Worst thing about the Irish education system? The points system which has driven the concept of vocation out of career choice
What song most reminds you of your school days? Indisputably, Bill Haley's Rock Around the Clock
