Colm O'Regan: Taoiseach Martin, here’s an idea for you: Road Bowling for All
For anyone who doesn’t know, road bowling involves throwing a small cannonball down the road as far as you can to complete a course in as few throws. Picture: ©INPHO/Tom Honan.
You kind of know something is up on the road ahead. It feels like an excitement in the air as you approach in your car. There’s a couple of men on the road looking alert, not quite walking, more sort of standing with purpose, wearing hi-vis so something is ‘on’. But there’s no church, hall, War of Independence site commemoration nearby.
No big funeral has come up on the RIP.ie email alert. It’s the wrong time of the year for silage. It can’t be an ambush. Ambushers don’t wear hi-vis. They seem very mildly put out by your presence. They wave at you to slow down.
