    Why are people going on about protecting the bookies money? He most likely knew the young lad behind the counter and didn't want to see him get a hiding. Obviously he could have been hurt, that's what makes him a hero. Fair play.

    Exactly this. I’m not sure I’d have done what he did but I think he’s a hero and the fact he’s 85 makes it better. The boot up the hole at the end is just the icing on the cake.

    I’m fairly sure he’s not thinking “I want to protect the bookies money”, he’s just doing what he thinks is right. It’s the principle. Which you have to admire because most people would just be worried about what is best for them and f**k everything else as can be seen from some of the replies on this thread.

    The fact he wouldn’t give interviews and just went playing pitch and putt yesterday makes him more of a legend. Mayfields answer to Clint Eastwood.

    Glanmire. North of Cork city - near Mayfield. It's a really nice suburban mixed with countryside area. This is probably a big deal there.

    The guard on RTE news was not impressed by their choice to intervene.

    Glanmire is anything but nice ... doormen at the castle will attest to this ;)

    They're just lucky it wasn't a bookies in Churchfield.

    Anything but nice? Yeah it's real rough.

    Scumbags going to one of its pubs doesn't change that it's a really nice, quiet area overall.
