Tubbercurry

Oh, that's easy.

I make a, uh, there's a takeaway at home in, in Tubbercurry, um, it was Raf's, Raphael's, and he, he did a spicy mince.

The spicy mince was mince over chips.

Mm.

No one wants me in, apparently.

Tubbercurry is a great place as well in the middle of Ireland.

Muff, of course, famously is in County Offaly.

Oh yeah, Muff.

And in the meantime, we can have a beautiful Greenway where people are cycling up and down, where people will benefit from businesses.

Tubbercurry will benefit from the businesses.

Tourism will be enhanced.

And as well as that, people have an opportunity to make a few pound where the new wave is going.

So I mean, you know, it would be revolutionary to have a, a western rail corridor operational on the western seaboard.

It would connect us, uh, you know, to towns, Sligo, to Collooney, to Tubbercurry, to Charlestown.

It would connect the rest of, uh, Mayo, Sligo, and, um, um, to Knock Airport, which has, you know, historically been, uh, underfunded, uh, from a, from a state point of view, uh, compared to some of the DAA-run airports.

You know-

Um, 35-year-old Kieran Gorman from Mullagbreena in County Sligo.

Uh, Mike Burke, who's from Tubbercurry, um, worked with, uh, Kieran Gorman as a carpenter in New York at the time, very, very close to him, and has been speaking about his connection to Kieran.

In '75, uh, Joe Masterson, Kieran's uncle, his mother's brother, he asked me to transfer to Tubbercurry.

I ended up playing hurling with Sligo and, uh, football with Tubber.

So Joe was a very special friend of mine.

Very sad.

25 years, I can't believe it.

Yeah, that's Mike Burke from, uh, Tubbercurry.

You know there's people waiting.

That poor lady in Tubbercurry needs it.

She's waiting on it, you know.

I can drop the boat out to her like if she stops for it.

Yeah, I do.

I've a, I've a young girl, you know, who's just, just started first year in St. Traigh's there in Tubbercurry, so, um, yeah, I, I could, I would say it's one of my busier weeks now, [laughs] to be fair.

[laughs]

But, uh, uh, yeah, look it, it's, you know, it, it's all go.
