This week 1993: The late Alan McLoughlin had just struck one of the most iconic goals in Irish football history. With America and the World Cup on the horizon, the nation erupted in delirium—everyone, that is, except Roy Keane, who was already totting up the cost." #ThrowbackThursday

If you're out and about in St. Mullins over the next couple of days keep an eye out for the ghost carriage. And the Gardaí will be interested in it too: no lights, probably no tax or insurance, and you can bet the NCT is out aswell... 🎃😱 👻 #Halloween #ThrowbackThursday

The 1990 #PresidentialElection had a little bit of everything:
"Mature recollections", "Dirty whispering" & a candidate that couldn't even count on himself for a vote...

But, in fairness to the farmers, they get off home before the schools close.
