But there was a guy in the front row that stood up in the middle of that, and started to really clap really, really loudly, and I didn't even recognise him, you know, so I thought, gosh, he really must have been touched by my ministry, you know, isn't that wonderful, you know, so I went up afterwards to find him, you know, I thought I'd better find out how much impact I've had on this guy, and And I found him and I said, I said, oh, look, I'm not even sure who you are.

J
3:51John SweetmanGUEST
I remember one particular job down in Limerick at the height of the kind of McCarty-Dundon feud down there.
J
3:58John SweetmanGUEST
And, like, we were working away at the scene, but in the background we could see, like, armed Gardaí were there to protect us.
J
4:07John SweetmanGUEST
Another job we were sent out on, it was a big, oh, it was, nobody told us what it was.
