It wasn't quite the stage he's used to with Boyzone, or even 'Coronation Street'. But 'You're A Star' judge Keith Duffy was right at home yesterday as he played around with autistic children in Galway.
Duffy and his wife, Lisa, have to date helped raise over €4m for Irish Autism Action.
Their daughter, Mia, who is autistic, has benefited hugely from receiving Applied Behaviour Analysis education.
Duffy travelled to Galway to lend his support to parents who are battling to fund the Abalta special school, which costs €200,000 each year to run.
"Anything I can do to help these kids, I will," Keith said.
He is hoping to make a big dent in the funding shortfall at the Keith Duffy Abalta Ball in Galway on May 16.
