    Most certainly, though being 76 might now exclude me. I have always been fascinated by space.

    When did you last hand-write a letter?

    Day trips to Bray. Used to go with my mam, now late nana, my great aunt her son and my aunt and uncle who were in their teens. I'll always cherish those trips in my heart.

    In the unlikely event that you were to ever end up on death row . What would be your last meal?

    Ah posy, hes a fantastic actor. He was originally famous for snatch alongside Jason statham and Brad Pitt too, but can see why he might get missed in that.
    Most recently in line of duty and the virtues (a tough watch that one but gets unbelievably good in it) and as Loughc said in the Irishman too.

    A bit of back round. My family is heavily involved in a local sports club. This local TD has done a lot to help with funding, highlighting events, raising our profile etc. Unfortunately he is a member of FF!.

    I am voting for him and not his party. All politics is local as they say.

    if you could wave a wand and change one things in Ireland, what would it be?

    The homeless problem.
    Was walking to the train station after working late last night & saw a man in his mid 30's with 2 young children of about 6 or 7, all carrying bags & suitcases & sat at a bench, couldnt help hear him trying to settle them & realised they had nowhere to go... i genuinely felt like crying, offered him a few quid but he wouldnt accept it but thanked me for trying to help anyway. Seeing the 2 little faces though was heartbreaking... its not right & it needs to be addressed as a priority.

    On a less serious note, favourite place to be?

    So very sad, DvB, pure dreadful.
