Would have been great if it had been in Carrigallen all the same - a great headline.

I don’t need to buy her autobiography now after reading that. Thanks!
We’re improving at this mural racket. ….
I fear we can’t yet say the same re the environment…
I never heard Val Fitzpatrick being referred to as Master Fitz.
Val is an alright sort - just don’t slag off his drink.

All a misunderstanding no doubt
Notwithstanding the fact that Fenagh has been downgraded from a village to a hamlet.
Both pubs closed and no big enthusiasm to re-open either. Ah well, we’ll be welcome in Kesh….
Somebody will take your money
No better man than Foley to accommodate you and take your money.
He’d lift the pennies from the eyes of a corpse so he would.
True, but an alright sort as well, would have good time for him even if I probably wouldn’t darken his door. Rather there than cardiffs anyway
I’d have great time for Dessie, we go back a long way but people differ over the oddest things.
He and I had the funniest incident I was possibly ever involved in 20 years ago in NYC where we both played our parts with the aplomb that we’re known for.
A Cavan born publican adjacent to the Twin Tower site ended up being the fall guy.
Go on so give us the yarn

We were in Shannon Airport ready to embark for NYC when Foley (Dessie) asked me had I any $ on me.
No worries says I - problem? Yeah says Dessie, the fucking Bank sent my $3k to BoI Dublin.
No panic says I - how much - Gimme $200 says Dessie - sorted.
The following morning we were all down at the Twin Towers site looking at a hole in the ground when I and others spy Foley and another local builder within on the site in Hi-Viz jackets pointing and drawing imaginary plans for redevelopment. Foley was acting the Messiah as usual….
We morphed back into the nearest pub which was run by a Cavan man, there were possibly 6/8 of us and we settled in. All bluff and bullshit, we’re going swimmingly until Foley and a few more land in.
Drinks all round proclaimers Dessie as he winks slyly at me.
This’ll cost you claims the Owner.
Fuck the loss says Foley, you’ll never believe what happened me there now……I was walking up the street there a minute ago and there’s this wallet on the ground (produces wallet - his own)…
I counted it - $3k and I shouted - didn’t I Willie - you did Dessie but not too loudly…
The bar owner disappears outside to look all round as to who might have lost a wallet, I’d say cursing loudly to himself as to how this miserable Leitrim fucker found it outside his premises……

Is der gold in them dere hills?
Eamon Ryan to be greeted by anti-gold mining protestors on his Sligo visit | Independent.ie
@Massey and his relations have been traversing the hills and glens from Kinlough back to Drumkeeran since 2001 when this first arose.
They’ve rigged up and converted agricultural sprayers to 40’ wide metal detecting machines. Then he tells us he’s going to matches and funerals all the way from Limerick. He’s at it every spare hour and has the young lad (11) away from school in a big John Deere flittering through the Mullies area…
If there’s gold Massey will have found it before the Government do.
