A satisfying 3O minutes of old school Irish radio ding dong (starts proper at 5.20).

Druids Glen, the luxury golf resort where former Anglo Irish Bank boss Sean Fitzpatrick met Irish prime minister Brian Cowen for a round in July 2008 as the bank teetered on the brink of collapse, used to charge a joining fee of €45,000 on top of annual membership fees.

Public revelations about the meeting contributed to Cowen’s resignation as leader of Fianna Fail in January this year, precipitating a general election.

“We have had to adjust our rates. Ireland probably was over-priced during the boom,” says Richard Collins, chief executive at Druids Glenn.

This is Saint Valentine’s shrine in Whitefriar Street Church, (they say) some of his remains are in the casket underneath the altar. I love that there is this connection between Saint Valentine, Valentine’s Day and Dublin.
