Climb down out of his hole for a change and you’ll make an easier target for him.
O gradys for chowder and Guinness for lunch. The Guinness, funnily enough, is top drawer there. I hail from just over the hill.
Who: Sean O’Rourke
Famous for: Taking over Pat Kenny’s radio show when he switched to Newstalk
Where: Stephen Street, off Grafton Street, Dublin
When: Today 29th October 2015, approximately 1.45pm
Other notes: Sean was walking along outside the Hairy Lemon. His demeanour was that of someone that was in a good mood and pretty non assuming. He was wearing spectacles as well as a long great coat. He clutched a copy of a newspaper to his chest/shoulder area which appeared to be a broadsheet. The otherwise positive impression was ruined by his wearing of slip on shoes.
Who: Aiden Gillen
Famous for: Actor in The Wire, Love/Hate, Charlie
When: Saturday lunchtime at the junction of Wellington road near the Lansdowne hotel
Aiden was walking a small dog and is surprisingly small himself.
yes-a spot
yes- a spot
Good spot. Vast majority of male tv/movie actors are short. I suppose it is awkward to shoot a 6’ 4" guy with a 5’ 2" woman.
Who: David O Leary
Where: Wrights findlater restaurant, Howth
When: Friday 11th October. 8 pm approx
Famous for: Scoring a penalty in Italia 90
Other notes: David was having a meal with his wife and daughter and they sat at the table beside myself and my current wife. He was dressed casual in a shirt, jumper, jeans combo. He had the steak but refrained from desert and had a pint of Guinness instead. He looks very well for a man of 57ish. The daughter had a woeful high pitched accent
Who: Blaidnid Ni Chofaigh
Where: O Toole Park, Crumlin
When: Saturday 24th October. 3pm approx
Famous for: Being the second most famous redhead in Rte after bosco
Other notes: She was attending the under 16 hurling final between cuala and ballyboden. A quick scan through the programme informed me that she had a son playing for cuala. She was well wrapped up for the cold conditions. She hasn’t a clue about hurling but it didn’t stop her encouraging her son loudly “as gaelige”
Who: Nicky Byrne
Where. Eurospar malahide
When. Thursday 29th October. 8pm approx
Famous for: Marrying a daughter of Bertie
Other notes. Nicky was picking loads of bags of sweets in preparation for Halloween. He seemed to be disgruntled that he had to run this errand. He’s quite small for someone who had trials to be a keeper.
Proinnsias De Rossa at the BGE THEATRE there now.
Sean Moncrieff in House restaurant Howth last night.
That’s good spottin’.
Poppy wearing UFC boxer Conor McGregor sitting two seats up from me at tonight’s boxing at the stadium.
It’s a fucking frenzy with people trying to get him.
Zaur Antia is in front of me but he’s too important to photo.
Watching at home, I’ll keep an eye for you when the camera shifts to McGregor
Gary Sliothair in a Howth eatery this morning tucking into a substantial brunch in the company of a lady tucking into similar fare.
What age was she?
no to all

Guessing here but I’d say it was one of the daughters.
