Well done Dave - I overheard some guys in work talking about this today, having heard you on the radio.

Hi Dave.
Thats simply amazing stuff Dave, I have to say that given your dedication to the work it was only a matter of time before all your hard effort payed off.
I saw the clips on the 6&9 o'clock news, magic!!
Again, welldone !!!

Hi folks - well, the phone has been hopping all day and all night. I'm cream-crackered! Worse - I was with a client all day today and they were talking about it when I arrived. The looks on their faces was priceless as I was signing in at reception. Needless to say, they stumped up for lunch.

Just to update you, the Kildare post will run an article (presumably this coming week)and I'm scheduled on three radio stations on Monday - Kildare FM at about 10.30, Donegal at about 13.30 and Dave Fanning at 7 ish.

Myself and Fiona were also very kindly invited to attend the Hamilton Walk this coming Thursday, starting in Dunsink at 2pm. I'm pretty sure we can make it. If any of ye are there, it'd be great to see ye.

Myself and Fiona just saw the Metro article - well, what a hoot! I loved all the mistakes but I have to say that I am so proud to be known as an Irishman! If anyone has a hard copy, I'd love to see the full thing.

Anyhow, thank you all for all your kind words. Both myself and Fiona really appreciate you taking the effort to put fingers to keyboards. And pelase God, we'll see you all soon and have a natter

Oh yes, here's yet another article - the nice thing about this one is that it will hopefully inspire youngsters to get involved:
