Ireland's Fittest Family review: For fab dad, it's not all about winning
Donncha O'Callaghan with the Mooney family on Ireland's Fittest Family.
Irish dads get a bad rep. From Hollywood portrayals of Angela's Ashes-type boozy boors to the Bull McCabe's bullying field fetishist, a certain generation of Auld Lads are expected to behave a particular way in regards to their offspring. They should never have changed a nappy, or shown real emotion (unless it's apoplectic rage over an immersion bill) and never ever should have boasted about their kids. That was women's work.
"I hear young Finbarr won the Nobel physics prize for the discovery of the interplay of disorder and fluctuations in physical systems from atomic to planetary scales. Fair play."
