Today’s London-based The Irish World

How much?

Irish World editor Bernard Purcell writes:

e Kerry Association London (KAL), far and away the most active county association in the UK at fundraising with a firm belief that Kerry is the centre of the universe and some very successful backers – effortlessly raised £243,000 to send back to the county team. Just like Buddy Garrity and the boosters in Friday Night Lights…You have to raise your hat to them (for what it’s worth I’m a Northside Dub, via Galway and London so not partisan)…

FIGHT!

For the day that’s in it.

Super fans Darren McKenna and Balsha Raich of [Dublin-based production company] The Ligthroom wanted to create something to celebrate Back to the Future  day. With only 8 days and zero budget – their golden asset was a Delorean car at their disposal for 6 hours.

…We follow two Dublin lads with a love for the past. They come across a Delorean and end up time travelling to Dublin 1985 where they accidentally make a few changes to their local chipper. When they finally return to the present; October 21st 2015 – things seem to have changed….

Sometimes a chap has to take stock,
If he’s picked up for making a clock,
And put in a cell,
Then emigrates, well,
That can’t really come as a shock.
