‘Tunnelling Tigers’ bid farewell to Gráinne two years on

AN EPIC love affair came to a dramatic end beneath the streets of the capital city yesterday but there weren’t too many tears at seeing it turn to dust.

For two years, Gráinne, a creature of startling proportions, was wooed by her subterranean suitors as they trod a common path in life, 60 feet below ground.

They stayed with her day and night, sweet-talking her in their soft Donegal accents as they got through the daily grind together. They even cleaned her teeth before they bid her farewell each evening.
