From The DonegalDaily.com of February 22, 2011

Donegal North East election candidate Charlie McConalogue can certainly do the ‘business’ according to one old dragon.

Sean Gallagher of RTE’s Dragon’s Den fame has given his backing to the Inishowen man before Friday’s big vote.

According to Gallagher, the 33 year old Fianna Fail man can change politics and the political system for the better.

He made his comments at an election rally on Sunday night where he gave a full endorsement of Charlie McConalogue (above,second right) to a crowd of 300.

Returning to the core values of community and going back to our roots of society is what will make this country great again was the key message delivered by Gallagher.

You will feel a little happier having watched this.

YouTuber havelah sez:

 An elderly couple walked into the lobby of the Mayo Clinic for a checkup and spotted a piano. Theyve been married for 62 years and he’ll be 90 this year. Check out this impromptu performance. We are only as old as we feel, its all attitude. Enjoy! They certainly do.
