    Just posting here out of hope someone remembers an old telly ad for rte which featured an rte truck driving through the Irish countryside with randomers looking at it as it passed. My uncle was in it and he died recently and we're trying to find a copy of it. I've looked on YouTube but couldn't find it. Any help would be appreciated

    I think you might be onto something there! I YouTubed the song but the rte ad isn't there unfortunate but it definitely rings a bell with me.

    I think it was featuring 2fm, rte tv, radio 1 etc,
    Larry Gogan may have been driving the truck

    There are a few YouTube compilations of ads from particular years. You might come across it there.

    Sorry don't know how to embed but it's ads from a broadcast in 98. RTE ad starts 1.30 in, maybe it's what you're after
