So young, so full of hope…

There were plenty of wide-eyed winners looking to the skies last night as the Éire Óg gang hosted their annual Dinner & A Gong love-in.

One of the town’s longest-running institutions – gotta be over 10 years now, right? – Éire Óg’s deep history was represented by the bright young things of tomorrow and the stars of yesteryear.

Such as the certifiable local legend that is Patsy Vickers.
