Jump To Comment: 1Nice one, Damo. That article looked good on the front of the Irish Times, with a nice portrait of Sheen and all.
Let's hope Sheen does distract his fellow students at NUIG - and, in fact, the whole of Galway - by inviting them all to go down and demonstrate with him the next time Bush visits Shannon.
Best,
Coilín.
