I loved your rant snow men capped it Don I love drogheda being born not far away I hated when they knocked the gate cinema messed up west street and demolished James or Johnstone I hope they leave that agent town alone now Don thanks.
Great video Don, hopefully Trump will do good,seems like the Americans have tick tock again for now,have you ever thought about going to Fore in Westmeath and Delvin
good morning dear Don and thanks for another grear video............Greetings from Daggy,Kiel,Germany☘☘☘
100% Cool, but there is no chair in the world worth that much. Crazy.
I believe you were thinking of dying intestate (without leaving a will) when you said that you were not going to leave your estate (property) to anybody. The greenway that you were on was part of the GNR. Around the country, the Waterford Greenway was the first of many disused railways that was turned into a greenway - from Waterford City to Dungarvan. There is another in Kerry from Tralee to Fenit and another in West Limerick (around Newcastle West & Rathkeale). You also referred to Wilkinstown as a drive through and you've missed it. January is the month we all love to hate.
👍😊
Another good one Don! I’m glad the Garda didn’t nab you as one of those dodgy characters 😂. As you see from comments, we live in two different realities. I have voted for all parties and this is waaay beyond politics! I have family on Long Island so families are split apart now. How one human can do so much damage is truly mind boggling! Tomorrow’s oath to the constitution will be a complete farce…whatever was left of democracy will be gone. No worries about TikTok as the CEO plus ALL the zillionaires will be there greasing the 🍊palm! It will be a very bumpy ride but Truth will always win. Maybe Denmark will loan us Greenland for 4 years with the stipulation that 🍊will have to live there and his mouth will freeze shut…..hey, I can dream can’t I ? 🤣😂🤣😂😡🥵🤬 Kudos to your cousin for ditching the car. You have a great public transport system there. Here, the majority of our taxes go to making and selling weapons of war around the world…
Thank you Don for sharing another fantastic video thanks for taking me along on a wonderful adventure love from Dublin
Thanks Shane. 👍😊
Trump is a film-flam man who has fooled people into thinking he's going to make (fill in the blank) great again. Stay tuned for season 2 of Trump's reality Sh$* show. I'm going to get outside now and breathe some fresh, cold air. Thanks for the reminder to get outside, Don!
AMEN Lauren….but light will always win over darkness!🙏🙏
I'm waiting in anticipation Lauren. 🤣👍😊🇮🇪🇺🇲
Nice to go along the greenway. might be more crowded later in the year.
It probably will be Tony. 👍😊
Don your lovely man enjoy watching your UA-cam videos Donald Trump great President I'm from sligo living in New York long Island Economy here and America sucks. We're all hoping that Trump brings America back be nice to Trump Don Biden Harris App destroyed America with its policies.keep up the great work you do 😊
Thanks John. Let's see what the next four years will bring. 😁👍😊🇮🇪🇺🇲
I agree with you about James Wood, what a disgusting, evil thing to say 😮 I wish peace on both sides. Just imagine wishing death on innocent children because that is what he is saying when he said “Kill them all”. 🥺 Well he got his Karma that is for sure!! Anyway another entertaining video again Don!! 🤭😁☺️👍🏻
Great video Don, I’m from Wicklow but spent a few years in Donegal and a fine country it is and the most welcoming people on the Island of Ireland.

Nice town Don and very well kept I love the way they keep the stonework and bridges nice video Don thanks
Thanks Kearney. 👍😊
no probs Don as i say your a good guy. Love the videos.
Dear Don ! A fine contribution. I searched for the <Psalter of Tara> country. There is the Story about jeremiah stranded with thougters of zerah Right Here in your country of Tara. Psalm 12:6-7 "the words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried in a furnance of earth, purified seven Times. Thou shalt keep them, o Lord, Thou shalt preserve them from this Generation for ever." For more Information Search the Psalm of David by Gerald flurry An very Interessting book. Our great God of the Bible save you and his people. Ambros from graz Maranatha % And on that Search I meet thee. I'm from austria. Of course there are a lots of Mountain down Here, But there is none of Such a amound of your resident of Tara. There are a lot of history and kings from of past in there.
Really enjoyed this tour of the Farm Machinery exhibit,Amazed to see the technology nowadays in this field would need a swiss bank account to afford it though Lol😂Thanks Don 💯👍

That's a real Irish saying Nicole. Are you Irish or American born ? 👍😊
Another great video don ,I’ve been on that beautiful beach a number of times . By the way in 1917 the SS laurentic came up the same stretch of water ie lough swilly out past fanad head lighthouse where she struck 2german mines and sank with the loss of 354 lives. She was carrying a cargo of gold to pay Canada for help with the war effort .most of the gold was recovered I believe .
Wow 😲 Thanks Frank, that's amazing information. 👍😊
Croke Villas were the tenements near Croke Park that were boarded up. I think they were due to be knocked down and probably rebuilt. The stand of Croke Park that you were outside was the Cusack Stand. As you walked through Phibsboro (just before the Mater Hospital), you were in a neighbourhood that was similar to Corrie.
Thanks Leonard for the update. I was thinking Corrie myself. 😂👍😊
Next time you're in Dublin try Whyns hotel on Abbey Street,a gorgeous old boutique hotel and their sandwiches are so fresh,lovely clientele that goes there too
