Galway man Gavan Hennigan talks about his next rowing adventure: New York to Galway Bay

Inspirational.

Galway man Gavan Hennigan managed to inspire a number of Irish people watching the Late Late tonight with his turbulent life story.

From taking drugs and drinking at the age of 15 to ending up on the run in London, sleeping on a mattress in a grotty flat, not knowing if it was day or night with no leaving cert and not being able to drive.
