Skibereen is some spot for the rowing. Is there any town in Ireland with as many gold medals.
I could agree with you but then we'd both be wrong.

That the helicopter song by the Wolfe Tones was referencing a prison escape from Mountjoy.

Always thought it was from Portlaoise prison.

Landed in McG's backyard in Baldoyle too
It was far across the sea,
When the devil got a hold of me,
He wouldn't set me free,
So he kept me soul for ransom.
