First and foremost, no one was hurt, thankfully. Although, this could have been much worse as a man whose foot slipped on his way out to grab a sandwich smashed his car through a local shop front in Skerries. He explained to the Irish Sun that, “it was just an accident, the foot slipped on […]

Yesterday, the boys in blue went down in the history books. They played Kerry in the All Ireland Final replay and came out on top. They won 1-18 to 0-15 to make history by being the first team ever to win five championships in a row. I’d say there are some sore heads this morning […]
