Kearney features in anti-homelessness video

Leinster and Ireland rugby star Rob Kearney features in a new anti-homelessness video from Focus Ireland.

The short video, made in association with Aviva, sees the Willville man interviewed by Moone Boy star David Rawle. Also grilled as part of the hilarious clip is actress Amy Huberman – wife of Kearney’s former teammate Brian O’Driscoll – and Taoiseach Enda Kenny.

The video was made to highlight the importance of education, especially when it comes to preventing homelessness amongst young people.
