    That was a few weeks ago, I was on the motorway when they did the run. They had brand new black Audi A6 cars, they were really shifting.

    Just watching the RTE coverage in work (yah, fire me!) and wondering if anyone else is having a problem with the net coverage? RTE just showing stock crowd footage (though sound is fine) and then feed dies.

    Hey Moneygall - this wouldn't all be happening if your historical son wasn't also a slave owner.

    He's on route to Moneygall by road. Chopper landed in the local hurling pitch a few mins ago.

    Pity about the rain. Hopefully he will still go for a walkabout.

    It just makes it all the more amusing! Some of this RTE commentary is just bizarre
    "WE HAVE SANDED THE FLOORS AND PAINTED IT"
    - "What colour?"
    "WHITE!!!!"

    Guy killed at Connolly Station earlier today!

    Apparently, he tried to tell some guy that Kill Barrick joke that had already heard it seventy four times, and the guy threw him under a train.

    This is all a bit cringey. It's just a bog standard Irish village. So much nicer places he could have gone, ancestral home or not.
