The event was part of this year’s College Awareness Week (CAW).

World Champion racewalker Rob also took broadcasting legend Marty and the pupils on a rapid 'walk' around the nearby Lough.

CAW aims to inspire and inform all students about the importance of having a post-secondary education plan. 

It advocates for students to have the choice to pursue the course best suited to their interests, abilities and dreams, whether that is a PLC qualification, an apprenticeship or a university degree.

It was a busy day in Cork for Marty. A former UCC student he received an alumni award at the college for his 30 years of broadcasting.
