Who was your favourite teacher and why? Tommy Dowd, my Leaving Cert maths teacher. He was a good teacher - he must have been to get me through Leaving Cert maths - and he was a thorough gent.

Who was your childhood idol?

Jack O'Shea. He said hello to us once when I was very small at a National League game in Tralee. An audience with the Pope would not have had the same impact!

I can't remember us having a debs, possibly because our class was split because of repeats.
