Good spot Farmer, I spotted Pat in Doheny and Nesbitts on Tuesday evening, while making a vain attempt to find a decent boozer to watch the soccer. He was drinking a pint of Guinness and eating a toasted specialā¦
Spotted him two weeks ago on the same street counting change heading towards O Donoghues. Pat is a creature of habit.

Who: Ray DāArcy.
Famous For: TV (Jo Maxi, The Den, Blackboard Jungle, Rose of Tralee & Others) and Radio (Today FM & Others) presenter.
When: Saturday 30th April, 2.20pm.
Where: Outside the 98FM/Spin 103FM offices just under the DART line past The Bridge Restaurant at The Malting Tower, Grand Canal Quay, Dublin 2.
Wearing: Black shoes, blue denim jeans, light blue shirt (open collar), navy sports jacket.
Other Information: This was slightly odd. I was walking down the road (which is closed to traffic) from Lower Grand Canal Street to get down to Grand Canal Dock/Pearse Street area. I noticed a camera crew just beyond the rail line and continued on my way. I got closer and spotted 3 or 4 people, one of whom was Ray DāArcy. Ray was standing in the middle of the road and was walking towards the camera, which was around 20 yards away from him. He seemed to be speaking as he was strolling to camera. I wondered was he filming some TV ad or charity appeal or something. I didnāt stop to investigate further but Iām going to keep a close eye out for any kind of TV, online or print ad in the near future where Ray is wearing the above garb and the above location can be identified.
Bandage, Iām sure you considered the fact that DāArcy was working in your eligibility deliberations. Can you take us through the thought process and your conclusions please?
Only that (i) it didnāt appear to involve his presenting day job and (ii) he may have been using his profile to help a charity and it wasnāt work per se. As always, Iāll be guided by The Link and will respect his decision.

Where: Windmill Lane, Dublin
Famous For: Defending Enda Kenny, Being the current Minister for the Environment
Company: None
Demeanour: Relaxed
Other notes: I was out for a stroll around the quiet Windmill Lane area when I noticed a tall gentleman approaching me. It was Hogan. He was dressed in a suit, with no tie. He didnāt seem to be in much of a hurry, probably wouldnāt be on a Bank Holiday Monday night and was taking in the surroundings. He nodded to me as he passed to which I responded with a āfuck you Blueshirt*ā
