All those ex Munster players seem to pick up handy numbers, you don’t see them signing on, there was sone no name Fogarty lad from Tipp interviewed on the examiner recently talking about that, any business would be delighted to have Donncha on board, but I’d say he’s alright where he is for the moment, sounds like he’d having a bit of fun, nothing wrong with that, middle aged men don’t need to listen to 2FM, oldies always think the youngsters are into dumb shit
He is a middle aged man

Harmless simpleton is the best way to describe Donners. A bit like your man in Elf.

It would take a fair bit of courage and decency to do that. Fair play to him.

Roy Keane has also taken that gig a couple of times and did the very same thing,
Agreed, a lot of people don’t want to get that close to death unnecessarily

That cant be true, corporate ireland is fighting tooth and nail to get him onboard
You think a fella with about 100 caps for Ireland and a large profile won’t fall into a handy number, and he’s the simpleton 
In fairness if I was on my deathbed the last thing I’d want to see is this gormless simpleton turning up at the end of my bed, but each to their own.

Good one 
You could have told him to fuck off and I’m sure it wouldn’t have offended him

Can see the merits of current sports star visiting kids in hospital but it seems a very odd thing in a hospice organizing private visits by a merry prankster. Did he jump out of the wardrobe in his red underpants or something?

Do you need to be a wanker about it, why?
He was in the building as a guest of honour, he was probably asked if he would pop his head into sone rooms, he’s very well known and liked figure in the area,

I just think it’s an odd thing to do in a hospice. Am I not entitled to think that, no?

I’m entitled to tell you to fuck off and stop being a dick head

In fairness, he was a pretty big star in Irish sport at a time.
I saw him doing a series of interviews on TV3 (Keane was one) a few years ago. He was really good. But RTE would rather him hopping around like a loony as he can do that too, and some people like that stuff… I think its how he is used.
You are indeed and I’m entitled to think it’s an odd thing to do in a hospice, that’s the way this forum works. And the more I think about it the more inappropriate it seems.

Im sure he’d get something alright, con always look after their ex players particularly an ex lion. He wouldnt be the worst at corporate gigs definitely compared to some of guys he played with and are doing that.
I’d say you know very little about hospices in that case, there’s always entertainers etc coming through, it’s not like people are hooked up to machines barely conscious,
That day my mother was in great form, but she was dead 3 days later
Perhaps you’d run a hospice way better

As I say to each their own and good luck to her and Donners if she enjoyed it. It just wouldn’t be for me.
