Yes it seemed a grandiose affair Oliver, like an Olympic city would sweep society's undesirables into a camp out of sight for the duration. so our city is free of crime and mental ilness, at least till the last discus is thrown. I digres. do u remember the official visits of Devalera at the Wolftone monument by the Mall once a year. He spoke his speech in Gaelig & then repeated the entire monologue in Bearla!!He was half blind then & the crowd was half dead and half deaf to boot No buntings no bark No Tostal. When Mayo wins the All Ireland We'll raise Golden flags and drape Green White and Orange buntings all around the Mall. Are Ye not gone home yet Oliver? let's have a pint in Canons, ceann le an bothar!!
