Under the Microscope

Peter Kelly

Job Title:

How do you relax?
I play 'social' tennis which is my attempt to keep fit. I used to umpire tennis (the man in the high chair) and my greatest achievement was to work at Wimbledon and even get to work on Centre Court.

Where do you consider your most idyllic holiday location?
In my spare time, I work with Chernobyl Aid Ireland and my 'holidays' are spent working in an orphanage in Belarus. The orphanage was in a poor state when we went there first ten years ago, but things are improving gradually.

What is your greatest fear?
That neither Munster or Leinster will win their European Cup Quarter-Finals!

What person has influenced you most?
Political writers such as John Pilger and Noam Chomsky who are not afraid to 'call it like it is'.

What upsets you most?
People who don't listen.

What are the values you look for in people?
Honesty and a sense of humour.

If your house was on fire and everyone was safe, what 3 items would you bring with you?
Books, CDs and collection of photographs.

What is your 'secret' ambition?
Well, that would be telling, wouldn't it?!
