    no, Hayes's. Kennedy's is in Shinrone I think.

    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.

    Brian Dobson told us earlier that the wind was blowing their satellite trucks about the place and they were momentarily losing signals.

    some crowd, can imagine what college green itself is like, was gonna head in now but not a hope!

    Actually don't decide that yet - they had held the crowd back to about Dublin castle which is what you see in that shot - at 2pm they let them through to Dame street proper so its not as bad as it looks in that photo

    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.

    I find it hard to believe that in a village like that there's a person related to Obama but none of the rest of them are.
