    I spotted him in Headford the last day, and the mule was munching on some grass in Ashford Castle the last day - thought yer man was just havin' the craic. FFS if i'd known he was raising money i'd have thrown him a few bob.

    Mind you, it's the mule doing most of the work!

    if you see the mule again point him this way , i have alot of grass to get rid of, i will save me hiring a lawn mower.

    He may kinda look like a horse, walk like a horse but he 'Kicks Like a Mule' cause he is a Mule. His Daddy was a Donkey and his Mammy was a Horse. The came from different sides of the track:D

    It's a mule. I spent a good while listening to him talk to people in Eyre Square yesterday. He's a very nice chap, even let numerous small kids ride for free while he waited for his wife.
