Are there any plans for any more of these Imelda Mae shows?

It's quite a good effort and I haven't seen Kodaline or The Hothouse Flowers in weeks.

When Cork twinned with San Francisco, the late Councillor Bernie Murphy took the opportunity to go there as part of a junket so he could get a new set of false teeth

Bernie was a character and a half. He'd make a great subject for a biopic

Ah, he sounds like a real character. Who would you compare him to in politics today?

The Healy-Raes, I reckon

I presume he was an Independent?

He was. Some shrewd people made a lot of money by backing him early in the local election campaign at huge prices.


His headstone is one of a kind

Some shrewd people......like you? That is some headstone in all fairness.

I was just thinking there about the Healy-Raes. I know some people think they are backward but their auld lad, Jackie was very modern when he agreed to his wife's request to add 'Rae' to their surname to differentiate them from other Healy families in their area.

The late, Mrs Healy-Rae seemed to be a formidable woman.

Independent TD Michael Healy-Rae revealed that it was his American-born mother who encouraged her husband to adopt the Rae part of the surname. It was because of the townland he was born in and to distinguish him from all the other Healys in Kilgarvan.

Mrs Healy Rae was a talented linguist, who spoke several languages, including Arabic, and had worked at the Syrian Consulate in New York.

My old hunting ground. I got a call from a courier in Cark the other day. He had a package for me but our villages had the same name and were in different ends of the country.

Straight in with a rare disease. He's definitely after Joe Duffy's job.

Good luck.
